(b) add the following after line 14:

“(2) Before prescribing an age-verification method under subsection (1), the Governor in Council must consider whether the method

Respectfully submitted,

Observations to the Eighth Report of the Standing Senate Committee on Legal and Constitutional Affairs (Bill S-210)

The committee recognizes that pornography is a reality that is increasingly pervasive given the ease of online access, including by young people. It has been said repeatedly during witness testimony that there are no perfect systems to prevent young people from accessing pornography. Young people are naturally curious and constantly learning; exploring one’s sexuality, having questions, and experimenting are all part of becoming an adult. This committee recognizes that sexual health education is one of the best safeguards against harm. Parents and educators need resources to ensure we are emphasizing awareness, consent, and body autonomy to young people. Bill S-210 is a laudable effort, but any legislation needs to be complemented with robust sexual-health education and better pornography literacy programs. Encouraging open dialogue, access to accurate and unbiased information, and ensuring judgment-free spaces are essential to healthy sexual exploration and healthy sexuality in general.

This committee encourages all levels of government across Canada to invest in and promote sexual health resources and education to help safeguard young people against the harms that can result from early and unrestricted access to pornography.

The Honourable Senator Jaffer moved, seconded by the Honourable Senator Massicotte, that the report be placed on the Orders of the Day for consideration at the next sitting.

The question being put on the motion, it was adopted.

o o o

The Honourable Senator Mockler, Chair of the Standing Senate Committee on National Finance, presented the committee’s seventh report (Bill C-31, An Act respecting cost of living relief measures related to dental care and rental housing, without amendment).
