Statement: Conservatives will safeguard Canada’s children

November 4, 2025

The recent Supreme Court decision to strike down one-year mandatory minimum sentences for child sexual abuse material offences is sickening.

If the Supreme Court or this Liberal government won’t step up to safeguard children from harm, Conservatives will. We will use the Notwithstanding Clause to overturn this ruling, and fight for the strongest laws against child exploitation. Our children deserve nothing less.
