The official text of this motion reads: “That the Standing Committee on Health be instructed to examine the public health effects of the ease of access and viewing of online violent and degrading sexually explicit material on children, women and men, recognizing and respecting the provincial and territorial jurisdictions in this regard, and that the said Committee report its findings to the House no later than July 2017.”
The Health Committee’s ensuing study was the first Government of Canada study into the public health effects of pornography since 1985.
