Madam Speaker, something that I was pretty devastated to learn earlier as I was getting briefed on the crime issue is that child sexual exploitation, sextortion, is one of the highest reported crimes in Canada today, and it is happening with Canadian offenders. It is happening across lines as well across the world, and it is so important that we tackle this.
One of the challenges that police are facing is that they have to be so far into an investigation, with reasonable grounds to believe that a suspect has committed a crime, rather than the threshold that would be changed in this legislation, which would be reasonable grounds to suspect and would allow officers to get basic information of who an IP address or a telephone number belongs to.
As such, I believe that it is very misleading when the member says that this would give police access to all of the suspect's data. That is not true. It is basic information, so I would like it if the member would correct the facts.
