Mr. Speaker, I respect the member's opinion. I have been here for 17 years and I do know good legislation when I see it.
We have to look at the evidence. We are talking about a bill to deal with the sexual exploitation of children. The member wanted to talk about something else.
In 2005, the justice committee looked at this issue. If we look at the committee transcript, we will see that some Internet service providers actually refused to provide information when they were asked. The prosecutor said they refused to provide information.
That was an identification in 2005 that there was a problem to be dealt with. The Conservatives took over in January 2006, very shortly thereafter, and here we are today still without having passed this piece of legislation that would require Internet service providers to provide information.
If the member believes the government is doing the right thing and is serious about criminal activity, this bill should have been passed a long time ago. The government gets an âFâ with regard to Bill C-22.
