Mr. Speaker, I too will be supporting this motion as it is brought forward today. When we think of the agonizing role that parents play sometimes in trying to find solutions and comfort children that are being bullied in school, we figuratively say it is criminal. Mr. Speaker, it should be, literally, criminal. We should not allow young people to do things to each other that adults could not do to each other.
When you see the harm that is brought about by bullying, we need to take it to a different level. It is time to stop saying kids will be kids, or turning a blind eye to this. This should not be acceptable under any circumstances. For all of the parents who have tried to support children, and for all of the children who have been victims of bullying, I think that this motion here in the House today, and the motions that will be coming forward in Legislatures in jurisdictions across the country, is a strong message that we validate that what they have been through and we say enough is enough, it has to stop. Thank you.
