Refine by MP, party, committee, province, or result type.
Information & Ethics committee Part of the company may be based in Montreal, but it may be incorporated elsewhere and their servers could be located elsewhere as well.

D/Commr Stephen White
Information & Ethics committee No. The cases we've followed through on are the ones that were referred to us. They have a presence in the United States. They report it through that entity in the United States and pass it on to us.

Information & Ethics committee The 120 reports that were mentioned are and have been looked at.
February 22nd, 2021Committee meeting
D/Commr Stephen White
Information & Ethics committee We work closely with our partners in the provinces and municipalities. There are teams in every province and in almost every major city, for example in Toronto, Ontario, where the provincial police have resources to conduct these types of investigations.

A/Commr Stephen White
Information & Ethics committee I would ask Ms. Arsenault to give you these details.
February 22nd, 2021Committee meeting
A/Commr Stephen White
Information & Ethics committee There are probably quite a number of things that we could be looking at. I've already touched on a number of them with regard to making sure we get access to the data and to any information that we would be able to have access to up front and more urgently, as well as more basic subscriber information, and also ensuring that all the entities that are required under the mandatory reporting act to report are reporting.

D/Commr Stephen White
Information & Ethics committee In the United States, one of the reporting entities is NCMEC. That's why a lot of the disclosures we get, not just from Pornhub but other Internet service providers and hosting platforms.... If they have a presence in the United States, they are able to disclose to the American entity as well.
February 22nd, 2021Committee meeting
D/Commr Stephen White
Information & Ethics committee Yes, it does, without a doubt. It's always a challenge for us when we're talking about large international entities such as this one, and where they're housed could be different from where they're incorporated. Where they're incorporated and housed could be different from where they maintain servers with their data.
February 22nd, 2021Committee meeting
D/Commr Stephen White
Information & Ethics committee No, we have not—not to my knowledge.
February 22nd, 2021Committee meeting
D/Commr Stephen White
Information & Ethics committee We'll look at that, yes.
February 22nd, 2021Committee meeting
D/Commr Stephen White
Information & Ethics committee Those would be recommendations with regard to what? I'm sorry. I missed the question.
February 22nd, 2021Committee meeting
D/Commr Stephen White
Information & Ethics committee Thank you very much for the question. We can always do more in terms of prevention. This has always been our priority. The more we do, the better. Ms. Arsenault talked a little bit about the volume of complaints we receive and the number of investigators it would take to deal with all of them.
February 22nd, 2021Committee meeting
A/Commr Stephen White
Information & Ethics committee No, we're not aware.... We haven't been informed of their adding their own content, child sexual exploitation content, if that's what you're referring to.
February 22nd, 2021Committee meeting
D/Commr Stephen White
Information & Ethics committee There's always a possibility for it. In terms of this type of content, obviously we'd have to look very closely at that with our Justice officials to see if that type of provision would apply. I'm not sure if Normand, our colleague from Justice, can add anything to that.
February 22nd, 2021Committee meeting
D/Commr Stephen White
Information & Ethics committee Thank you for that question. We did receive additional funding. We have implemented new resources, both in the national crime centre here in Ottawa which I mentioned, the National Child Exploitation Crime Centre, as well as in ICE units across the country. A lot of those units across the country are integrated units.
