Helping you be a voice on the issues you care about.

June 10th, 2024

Dear Friends & Partners,

Currently, there are several Bills in Parliament which address protecting our children from sexual predators that we wanted to alert you to.

Bill S-210 effectively mandates that pornography platforms require legal age verification (18 years of age or older) of their users to access the content.

MP Arnold Vierson’s Bill C-270 addresses protecting underage individuals who have been filmed or photographed.

Though it is already illegal to post underage / non-consensual individuals on pornographic sites, police don't have direct access to proof without Bill C-270. This Bill forces porn companies to keep records of both AGE and CONSENT of those being filmed in the videos.

While Bill C-63 has been presented as the "Online Harms Act" to protect our children, it is ineffective. For example, taking down an exploitive video within 24 hours means the damage has already been done, and the video may never disappear from the internet.

In addition to being ineffective in protecting our children, there are sections of Bill C-63 that are very alarming. For more information on how Bill C-63 attacks free speech, see our communication here.
