Responsible for one out of every five jobs in Canada, exports help parents feed and clothe their families and make ends meet. They also help pay for childrens education and save for retirement.

OTTAWA

- Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced additional new legislation that will be introduced this fall to better protect children against child sexual exploitation in Canada and abroad. Our Government is taking strong action to keep our streets and communities safe for families, and above all, for our most vulnerable citizens, said Prime Minister Harper. We will ensure that Canadas justice system is on the side of victims, and take further action to protect our own children, as well as those in other countries, from sex offenders. The proposed amendments to Canadian law include:

New notification requirements for offenders on the National Sex Offender Registry who travel outside of Canada; and, Better information-sharing measures between the police and border security to keep track of travelling sex offenders. Increase penalties for offenders who commit sexual offences against children, especially those who violate the conditions included in probation orders, prohibition orders and peace bonds; and, Ensure that sentencing takes into account each young life that has been devastated by a predator through ending sentence discounts

for multiple child sexual offences. Our Government continues to help make our streets and communities safer by cracking down on predators who abuse and exploit children, said the Honourable James Moore, Minister of Industry and Member of Parliament for Port Moody Westwood Port Coquitlam. New legislative amendments will be introduced this fall to better protect children from a range of sexual offences, including child pornography, while ensuring that offenders receive tougher sentences. Furthermore, new legislation will also be introduced to establish a

publicly accessible national database that contains information on high-risk child sex offenders who have been subject to public notification by the provinces and territories. This announcement is part of a broad range of actions our Government has taken since 2006 to protect communities from child sexual offenders, punish offenders to the full extent of the law, hold violent criminals accountable, enhance the rights of victims, and increase the efficiency of our justice system.
