Mr. Speaker, distinguished members of the house, The opposition concedes
             that proctecting children and to enable adults to avoid material which
             offends their personal & community standards should be one of the goals of
             the government. Having said that, we must find realistic and practical
             solutions in order to address this issue. Is regulating the internet the
             answer? Before answering this question, there are many factors to be
             considered. As the member of the opposition has stated, no single set of
             standards is appropriate to all users, how can we regulate and deem what's
             appropriate for one, everyone is different. What one may find offensive on
             the net, others may not. By restricting the flow of information on the
             internet, the public will not be able to obtain every possible information
             which is available to them. Although there will always be certain sites
             which emits offensive material, it gives us a true balance of our society.
             By making the internet a perfect world will mislead the public's
             perception of our true society. Mr. Speaker, the public should have the
             right to choose which kind of information he or she would like to view.
             The users should be given the responsibility of private censorship. Like
             in other cases, adults must provide children with a safe and supportive
             environment in which to play and learn in. This can be done by subscribing
             to a filtered Internet Service Provider or by installing a filtering
             software, it should not be required as the Honorable Prime Minister is
             proposing. Self-censorship should be decided by the users themselves and
             not regulated by the government. The Prime Minister has also maintained
             that there needs to be a rating authority for websites on the internet.
             Mr....
