Myron ThompsonConservative M.P. Wild Rose, Alberta
Myron Thompson was a Conservative M.P. for Wild Rose, Alberta. He represented the Government on the Justice Committee and has also served as the Conservative Party's Critic of Canada's Child Pornography policies. Myron has become one of the foremost defenders of the rights of the child. In 2003 Myron received unanimous consent from all parties in the House of Commons for a motion that called for the government to immediately re-write the child pornography law to eliminate all defenses that justify the criminal possession of child pornography and, therefore, protect our children from further sexual exploitation. Myron was also the driving force behind the legislation now in effect to raise the age of consent from 14 to 16 years of age.
