moved for leave to introduce Bill S-209, An Act to restrict young persons’ online access to pornographic material.
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise today to introduce Bill S-209. I would like to begin by thanking Senator Miville-Dechêne for her leadership to bring the bill forward. Her continued efforts in advancing this legislation reflect her strong commitment to better protecting children and young people online. I would also like to thank the member for Newmarket—Aurora for seconding the legislation.
The bill, and its previous version in the last session, has received support across party lines. It demonstrates a shared commitment among members of the House and the other place to better protect young people. I look forward to working with all colleagues in the House in advancing this important piece of legislation.
