I remind folks not to take videos inside the chamber. I also remind folks not to take pictures and those kinds of things. We will review the information provided or go back and look at the time-stamp and come back to the House as soon as possible.

I believe we are now delving into debate. The only thing I can say at this point is that we are not supposed to take pictures or videos while we are in the chamber. However, I am in the chair right now and cannot review that. I know the Chair is looking at it, and maybe the Speaker is looking at it. We will hopefully come back with a response as soon as we possibly can. Continuing debate, the hon. member for Carlton Trail—Eagle Creek.

Following the point of order raised earlier by the member for Kingston and the Islands concerning the posting of a video on social media, I would like to remind members that the taking of any photo or video during the proceedings of the House of Commons and its committees is strictly forbidden. Following the intervention from the member for Kingston and the Islands, I considered the matter and reviewed the video in question. It is absolutely clear to the Chair that the beginning of the video was taken during our proceedings and subsequently made available on social media. I am sure the Leader of the Opposition knows full well that members are not allowed to take pictures or record videos when the House is sitting. The Chair has reminded members of this on many occasions, and as has been done in all those cases, the Chair's expectation is that the Leader of the Opposition will remove the portion of the said video that is in contravention of the rules of the House. I want to thank all members for their attention.

Madam Speaker, do I believe that the government wants to limit people in putting cat videos online? Of course I do not. However, his question is very telling. I would first say that it is designed, like everything the government says, to make the people feel small and tell them that they are really only concerned about cat videos. The people of Canada are smarter than that; they are not idiots. The people of Canada post poetry, music and beautiful stories online. They share their most beautiful moments. To distill all that down to cat videos is, once again, an insult by a Liberal snob on the common people. It is to suggest that they are interested only in frivolous and stupid things that need to be filtered out by a class of much more elite people. We believe in the common sense of the common people. We believe they have the judgment to choose what they should post, read and do online.

Madam Speaker, governments have always enacted things for people's safety. It is for their benefit, and it will all be okay, my hon. colleague has pointed out. The problem is that people will not realize that they are not watching the videos that they want to watch; they are watching what the government wants them to watch. That is the problem. This is how badly written this is: People will not realize that the content they consume in the future is what the government wants them to consume, not what the viewer is looking for.
