“One in four young Canadians faces online bullying, and it makes them much more likely to think about suicide. I want the government to explain what it is doing to protect children online.”
“Mr. Speaker, happy Friday. One in four young Canadians between 12 and 17 years of age has been the victim of cyberbullying. Not only that, youths who are victimized online are three times more likely to have suicidal thoughts. Stakeholders nationwide are sounding the alarm. Can the Secretary of State for Children and Youth tell the House what the government is doing to protect our children from the dangers they are exposed to online?”
