It is looking very actively into the matter. For example <a href=\"/bills/171/\" class=\"related_link legislation\" title=\"An Act to amend the Criminal Code and to amend other Acts\">Bill C-15</a>A creates a new offence. Of course we are open for discussion. We are looking very actively into the matter. We have provisions within the criminal code that strike the very delicate balance we need in order to have an effective tool in fighting child pornography.</p>",
