Business of Supply  Madam Chair, that is a great question, but I believe that the senator's bill, Bill S‑210, addresses only one aspect of our broader bill, C‑63. Protecting children from pornography and sexual predators is a priority for both me and the senator. However, we have different ways of tackling the problem.

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, I think that the minister is well aware that those are two completely different missions. Both are commendable. Bill C‑63 has its good points, but Bill S‑210 really seeks to check the age of pornography users to limit young people's access to it. The Liberal Party seems to disagree with this bill, and yet other countries, like Germany, France and the United Kingdom, as well as some states in the U.S. are looking into this way of verifying the age of users.

Business of Supply  Yes, it contains elements that make it possible to regulate or, at least, be warned before consuming certain types of content, but there is nothing that really makes it possible to verify the consumer's age. I would therefore advise the government to support a bill like Bill S‑210. Obviously, it is not easy to implement this type of safeguard, and other countries are currently looking at that. However, it is an extremely important bill. To return to Bill C‑63, would the minister agree that the first part of the bill could be split from the rest so that the digital security commission could be created as quickly as possible?

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, the government is completely ignoring Bill S‑210. Bill C‑63 is a huge bill that has received some criticism. It is likely to take a long time to study. However, we think the proposal to set up a digital safety commission is a good idea that should be implemented quickly.

Business of Supply  Now, I would like to hear his comments on all the issues related to child pornography, children's access to pornography and the sharing of non-consensual content. To my eyes, the purpose of Bill S‑210, which was introduced by Senator Julie Miville‑Dechêne and which seeks to prevent minors from accessing pornography, is completely different from the purpose of Bill C‑63, which the minister introduced and which seeks to protect the public from harmful content streamed on social media, such as intimate content communicated without consent and content that sexually victimizes a child.

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise and speak to Bill S-224, an act to amend the Criminal Code with regard to trafficking in persons. The adoption of this legislation would remove the unfair burden placed on exploited individuals to prove that there was an element of fear in their abuse.

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the opportunity today to speak about Bill S-224, an act to amend the Criminal Code (trafficking in persons). This is a bill that presents the opportunity to consider Canada's criminal justice response to human trafficking. Human trafficking is a devastating crime that involves recruiting, moving or holding victims in order to exploit these individuals for profit, usually for sexual exploitation or forced labour.

Finance committee  I'm not sure if the proper way to say it is “value” or “values” because, in the title of the book, he has the “s” inside brackets, which is, I think, intended to demonstrate the question of what is a value and what are values at the same time. It is a legitimate sort of literary device, although it makes it somewhat ambiguous to know how the title should be read out.

Criminal Code  The House proceeded to the consideration of Bill S-224, An Act to amend the Criminal Code (trafficking in persons), as reported (with amendments) from the committee.

Criminal Code  There are two motions in amendment standing on the Notice Paper for the report stage of Bill S-224. Motions Nos. 1 and 2 will be grouped for debate and voted upon according to the voting pattern available at the table. I will now put Motions Nos. 1 and 2 to the House.

Environment committee  Okay. I'll do that. You are no doubt aware of Bill S-243, which is being studied in the Senate. Are you in favour of some aspects of this bill?

Environment committee  The investments you select have to meet very strict criteria, based among other things on compliance with the Climate Bonds Taxonomy. My first question is: Are you familiar with Bill S-243, An Act to enact the Climate-Aligned Finance Act and to make related amendments to other Acts, sponsored by Senator Rosa Galvez? You're indicating that you are. Given the market you work in, do you think this bill would have a positive impact on the stability of Canadian financial markets?

Environment committee  They're basically signing up for investing in less than one-half of the investable market. Of the 500 corporations in the S&P; 500, only 230 are currently fully aligned with net-zero 2050. Why would anybody decide that they're going to invest in only those companies when in fact it is the browner ones that have the chance of becoming better corporations and outperforming over time?

Health  Speaker, my province of Prince Edward Island has saved more than $2 million in out-of-pocket costs since the launch of P.E.I.'s copay program last year. This federal funding for P.E.I. has improved access to prescription drugs and made them more affordable for Islanders. The success of this pilot can be replicated across the country.

Public Safety committee  On that point, I would ask that you look for additional resources for future meetings, given that the Conservatives want to continue filibustering to avoid getting to Bill S-210. We're prepared to let them speak and filibuster as long as it takes, because we want to actually get down to work on the business of this committee.
