Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 36 and as certified by the clerk of petitions, I have two petitions today.
The first one is very timely in that the House has been considering the issue of child pornography, particularly on the Internet.
These petitioners from my riding of Mississauga South want to draw to the attention of the House that the creation, use and circulation of child pornography is condemned by a clear majority of Canadians, that the CRTC and Internet service providers have responsibility for the content that is being transmitted to Canadians, and that anyone who uses the Internet to facilitate any sex offences involving children is committing an offence.
Therefore, these petitioners call upon Parliament to protect our children by taking all necessary steps to stop the Internet as a medium for the distribution of child victimization and pornography.
