Justice committee  I believe so.

Justice committee  The entire agency has 40 staff. We have seven full-time content analysts, French and English, who currently do that job right now.

Justice committee  Yes.

Justice committee  Yes, it does.

Justice committee  One of our limitations is we base information on reports we receive. We cannot purport to tell a global story because we're analyzing reports that have come in through the tip line. What I can say is that rightly, in reading many of your discussions, it's moving all over the plac

Justice committee  Yes.

Justice committee  In terms of my earlier answer, really I can't speak to the powers of the criminal law spectrum and what we can do there. It is important that we expedite and move quickly on this. I think this is good legislation. It is, as you've mentioned, sir, one piece of the puzzle. I do

Justice committee  I'm certainly not trying to avoid the question. I can't answer legally as to the criminal law powers. I don't have that knowledge.

Justice committee  One of the things we are working on in partnership with the provinces right now is to look at similar legislation that can properly apply within the provincial jurisdiction. We support provincial legislation in addition to this. We advocate for departments of family services to b

Justice committee  Yes, I do. I believe it to be the RCMP. We have been in discussions with Minister Landry there. The reason we're advocating for the role we play is that, as you can see in these reports, we're able to collect important data. In our discussions right now with Nova Scotia, that i

Justice committee  What I can say is that in the research they did they looked at child pornography legislation in the United States. It is federal legislation that mandates that what they call ESPs or electronic service providers, to capture the broader types of people providing Internet services,
