    "content": "(g) the employment, use, persuasion, inducement, enticement or coercion of a child to engage in, or assist any other person to engage in, any sexually explicit conduct or simulation of such conduct; (h) the use or exposure of a child in electronic or online, platforms for purposes of prostitution, pornography or any other unlawful sexual practice; (i) the use of a child’s images for purposes of pornography or sexual gratification; (j) dissemination to a child of any material, information, education or health services that promotes, induces, condones, or normalizes sexual activity or behaviour among children or with children; or (k) any other similar acts calculated to cause physical, emotional, economic or psychological injury to the child. If you may notice, we had made reference to “child abuse” within the main Bill, but the definition was limited.The one that I am proposing includes just a few of the things that were excluded, one which is the infliction of physical harm by any person on a child. The amendment also seeks to separate some parts which should stand on their own. For instance, the definition that child abuse includes the infliction of physical harm by any person on a child should stand alone. Also, the infliction or inducement of physical harm by any person on a child by failing to adequately supervise or protect the child should stand alone. The way that it was previously put made it seem like they go together, which is not correct. The other part that I am adding is the failure by any person to protect a child from physical harm or to report a case of child abuse. That also falls under child abuse. I am also including acts or omissions that affect a child’s healthy social and emotional development and functioning, including rejection, isolation and the like. Also, comparison with other children and discrimination should be considered as abuse. The others that I am including is the exposure of a child to emotionally traumatic and age-inappropriate content, information and photos of any kind, and also engaging a child in child sex tourism and child trafficking. I am also including the use or exposure of a child in electronic The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
