Thank you very much, Chair. It's a real privilege to be part of this conversation today on behalf of those who are being victimized at unbelievable levels. It's frightening, and we have to do something.
I noticed here a comment that we've investigated only around 120 reports, 25 of which qualified to go to our police force. That means that 90, it was indicated, did not meet the Criminal Code definition. I have to ask why. What should we be doing to improve this Criminal Code definition so that these circumstances aren't taking place? I can't imagine that these other cases shouldn't qualify to be investigated.

Sure.
Every one of these cases that come into the National Child Exploitation Crime Centre is fully analyzed. We have some very good and passionate people in that unit doing this work, and they do a good, thorough analysis—

Excuse me, Mr. White. I'm not questioning their analysis. They're doing their analysis and deeming 90 of them as not meeting Criminal Code definitions.
Mr. Wong, what's the problem here? What do we have to do to increase that and improve that area?

Maybe, before you answer, I could just clarify that it did not meet the definition of child pornography in the Criminal Code. The vast majority were cases like age-difficult media, meaning we cannot definitely ascertain whether the individual is under the age of 18 years old.

I will just add to what Marie-Claude said.
The definition of child pornography in the Criminal Code is among the broadest in the world. We protect children under 18. The problem, as Marie-Claude mentioned, is the age-difficult media. When there are secondary sexual characteristics, unless you're dealing with an identifiable person, it's very difficult for anyone to tell whether that person is above 18 or below 18, so a lot of that material is not captured. That's probably what Marie-Claude is talking about.

Thank you for that, Madam Chair.
I want to go back to this issue of the fact that Parliament signed a law into place in 2011 on mandatory reporting for service providers. We understand that last year, in 2020, the RCMP received their first report. That's almost 10 years of no reports.
If, in that time, case X tried to come forward, case Y came forward and case Z came forward with issues of non-consensual or child abuse on that platform and nothing was done, the fact that they're reporting now to NCMEC, is that okay for the RCMP? Do you just say, “Well, that was then, this is now, and they're now complying with NCMEC” or do they have legal obligations that they failed to fulfill under the laws of Canada?

When I referred earlier to the 120 reports that we received from NCMEC, that was directly related to Pornhub, to my knowledge. We have been receiving reports over the years since the mandatory reporting act—

We have. The ones we received from Pornhub-MindGeek are the ones that have been transmitted through the NCMEC, but with regard to—

Yes, but with regard to reports since the mandatory reporting act has come into play from other entities—
