Brad Vis Conservative
“Conservatives tried to change this bill to protect child abuse image laws from court challenges and ensure strict punishments. I do not understand why the Liberals refused to support our changes to protect vulnerable children.”
“Mr. Speaker, at the amendment stage, Conservatives put forward CPC-13, which would have protected child pornography possession and access offences from charter challenges under sections 7 and 12 by enacting a notwithstanding clause, while also preventing those offences from benefiting from the bill’s mandatory minimum safety valve. I know the member to be an hon. member. I still cannot get around the fact that the Liberals would not support these Conservative amendments, which would have protected the most vulnerable in our society and ensured a level of justice for victims of child pornography. I still cannot get my head around the fact that the government will not support these measures.”
