Mr. Speaker, the second petition deals with concerns about child pornography, specifically in British Columbia, and the fact that the B.C. Court of Appeal has struck down subsection 163(1)(4) of the criminal code that makes possession of child pornography a criminal offence and that the court decision is therefore placing children in British Columbia at risk.
Subsection 163(1)(4) of the criminal code in British Columbia does not deem possession of child pornography as a criminal offence
This is incorrect because subsection 163(1)(4) does indeed deem possession of child pornography as a criminal offence.
