I support Senator van Turnhout on tabling this amendment. The terminology "child sexual abuse material" is still not strong enough. As Senator Bacik said, there should be a stronger terminology. What that is I do not know, but perhaps it should be child rape and abuse or something like that. The horrific acts that are carried to young children are unimaginable. Thankfully, I have never experienced the viewing of it, but I have spoken to professionals who, during the course of investigations, have had to look at it and they have been physically and mentally sick and disturbed as a result of it. It is totally unacceptable. If we could think of a stronger term to use than that proposed, we should use it.
