It is the government that has committed to protecting Canadians through our various bills that we have progressed through this House. Bill <a data-HoCid=\"13813664\" href=\"/bills/45-1/C-16/\" title=\"An Act to amend certain Acts in relation to criminal and correctional matters (child protection, gender-based violence, delays and other measures)\">C-16</a> would protect children from child predators, and the Conservatives voted against it. It is an all-time low.</p>",
