Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Since it is a very legalistic question, I am going to reply in a formal response. The Criminal Code of Canada creates offences for possessing child pornography. In doing this, the federal government made it criminal to have material that causes harm to children, but not all descriptions or pictures of naked children are pornography, as anyone would know who photographs their children having fun in the bath. It includes those that are sexually explicit and can be expected to cause harm to children. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
