On the heels of #MeToo and a child sexual abuse documentary screening on Parliament Hill, public safety minister Ralph Goodale is infusing funds into the fight against online child sexual exploitation.

Goodale announced $4,123,000 in funding over five years Wednesday, as well as $857,000 a year ongoing for the Canadian Centre for Child Protection, an organization that tries to reduce the risk of victimization among kids through programs, services and resources.

Child pornography incidents are on the rise in Canada. In 2016, there were 6,245 incidents — an increase of 41 per cent over 2015.
