Mr. Speaker, I would like to remind the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration that the Bloc supports this bill.
Some young people are more prone to sexual abuse because they live in isolated communities or because they have physical or mental disabilities.
By “community”, I mean small towns where there are no police officers or remote first nations communities far from police outposts. I am sure the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration will understand what I am saying since this was part of her portfolio. I am also talking about the homeless and so on.
As for the philosophy behind this bill, does the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration think that people with disabilities or the homeless will be better protected?
