That is an odious and violent practice that has to stop.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3491032\" data-originallang=\"en\"> My concern is that the government has tried to tag on other changes to the Criminal Code regarding surveillance powers. They are changes that Canadians are concerned about. Experts have expressed that it is an overreach by the government and by authorities. It may have the impact of causing additional concern and distracting people from the intent that I have, which is to close the gap in the Criminal Code and make it an offence to participate in the act of cyberbullying. </p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3491031\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, ma priorit\u00e9 en ce qui a trait au projet de loi est la m\u00eame que lorsque j'ai pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"6254139\" href=\"/bills/41-2/C-540/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Criminal Code (non-consensual making or distributing of intimate images)\">C-540</a>, c'est-\u00e0-dire modifier la loi de mani\u00e8re \u00e0 combler la lacune du Code criminel et \u00e9riger en infraction \u2014 en \u00e9tablissant clairement qu'il s'agit d'une infraction \u2014 le fait de distribuer des images intimes sans permission, une pratique odieuse et barbare qui doit cesser.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3491032\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ce qui me pr\u00e9occupe, c'est que le gouvernement tente d'apporter d'autres modifications au Code criminel concernant les pouvoirs de surveillance. Ces modifications inqui\u00e8tent les Canadiens et, de l'avis des experts, elles repr\u00e9sentent une exag\u00e9ration de la part du gouvernement et des autorit\u00e9s. Elles risquent de susciter d'autres pr\u00e9occupations et de faire oublier aux gens que mon intention premi\u00e8re est de combler la lacune du Code criminel afin que la pratique de la cyberintimidation devienne une infraction.</p>"
