Senator Wallin: I have a comment in response to that. I want to put on the record what Attorney General David Lametti said when he spoke about Bill C-10, and when asked specifically about federal regulation of legal internet content. He said that rights and freedoms can be limited. In particular, he said:

. . . when Parliament legislates, it may have an effect on charter rights and freedoms. This may include limiting people’s enjoyment or exercise . . . . This is entirely legitimate. The rights and freedoms guaranteed in the charter are not absolute . . . .
