Mr. Speaker, our government remains committed to protecting Canadians, particularly our children, from crimes being committed in today's technological environment.
Child pornography is an appalling crime and should not be tolerated under any circumstances.
Today, the Minister of Justice announced legislation to make it mandatory for Internet service providers to report any tips they receive regarding incidents of Internet child pornography.
While we recognize the efforts of major Internet service providers at voluntarily reporting, this legislation will strengthen our ability to protect children from sexual exploitation.
Canadians can count on the government and the Prime Minister to stand up for the rights of victims and law-abiding citizens.
