Replying to Kevin Lamoureux (Liberal)

“Mr. Speaker, I hope to speak to the member’s bill a little later this afternoon. I want to ask the member a question regarding the social media component to this. We know, for example, that there is a significant movement to put a limitation on children under 16 such that they cannot have social media accounts. Does the member have an opinion on that particular issue? Obviously, social media accounts often lead to a lot of pornography. I am very curious what her position would be on that.”
