Context: House Hansard - 284 - Feb/16/24
Mrs. Cathay Wagantall (Yorkton—Melville, CPC)
Madam Speaker, the second petition is in regard to sexually explicit and demeaning information depicting sexual violence online that is absolutely available to young people. It is made available for commercial purposes and is not protected by any effective age verification methods. Apparently, the Parliament recognizes that the harmful effects of increasing accessibility of sexually explicit materials online for young persons is an important public health and public safety concern. Therefore, the petitioners are calling on the House to adopt Bill S-210, the protecting young persons from exposure to pornography act.
