“Mr. Speaker, as a gen X-er who has two daughters who are gen Z, I often found myself learning from my children how to navigate social media content. Maybe we should actually be listening to some of the gen Z who have gone through this transition with us. I am wondering what kinds of benefits or protections they can offer in their transition, because they have lived this through their life. Of course, they are not the ones we are aiming this for at this point in time, but maybe the member can give me some insight on what he thinks of their contribution.”

Mr. Speaker, Claims · 39 wordscertainly we have much to learn from Canadians of different ages on this subject.We all have different relationships to technology depending upon our age.I do think there is much we could learn from members of gen Z, Reasoning · 67 wordsbut I will say that as a generation that, in many instances, perhaps most instances, would have grown up with ubiquitous Internet and ubiquitous digital technologies in their life, gen Z may not be best placed to actually reflect upon how their experience of technology has differed from those of previous generations who did not have that access and whose relationship to the Internet was very different.Claims · 83 wordsThat said, I will note the speech earlier tonight from the member for New Westminster—Burnaby—Maillardville, who is a member of our generation Z caucus and one of the four 21st century babies in this chamber.12We have heard from the younger members of our caucus directly based on his experience, which is shared, I am sure, by many others of his age.Partly on pointHe spoke very strongly in support of this bill, 3as I am sure most members of generation Z would as well.
