I'm going to start by talking about other countries.
Germany has been verifying age for many years by means of regulations. We also heard testimony on this subject at the Senate. There have never been any leaks of personal information. There are 80 different systems, implemented in collaboration with accredited third parties. So it's a system that works, because this country obviously started regulating before Pornhub came along. However, international platforms refuse to comply.
As for Great Britain, a first bill wasn't successful. A second one has been passed, and they're working on regulations, which will be forthcoming. I know their bill was one of the models that the Canadian government looked at, because it's quite rigorous, it took years to prepare, and it's excellent. It deals extensively both with pornography and with the fact that both pornographic sites and social media have to be addressed. Kids are looking at pornography on Twitter as much as on porn sites. So we have to worry about the whole picture.
So there are countries that do verify age, but you're right: We're still in the early stages. One cannot say that Germany is a tiny country, though, and its system works. France will be moving ahead in September.
To come back to your question about regulations, it's true that the government has said quite clearly that it doesn't like my bill. However, I'm one of those people who believes that governments have responsibilities. I trust that, once the bill becomes law, the government will consult experts and look for the best age verification methods, ones that will best protect Canadians. So I don't see why there should be any bad faith with respect to regulations, since creating a poor age-verification system won't benefit a single Canadian.
