Replying to Ruby Sahota (Liberal)

“Mr. Speaker, the member said that success should not be measured by mere compliance. Well, if these companies comply with this bill, I believe we can say that is success because they would have a duty to act responsibly, a duty to protect children and a duty to make certain contact inaccessible. Would the member agree that that would be success?”
