Mr. Speaker, I think everyone in this House agrees that online harms are real and that children need better protection. The question is not whether action is needed. The question is whether the specific measures before us would deliver the results that families are expecting. If a law can be bypassed easily, if children can simply migrate to other platforms or if key details are left to future regulations, those are issues Parliament has a responsibility to examine carefully. We can act urgently while still making sure we get this right.
In the House of Commons on October 28th, 2026. See this statement in context.
