Corner Brook MHA Jim Parsons is throwing his support behind a resolution to review changes that would protect children and youth from online harms. It was introduced in the House of Assembly this week by Opposition Leader John Hogan. Parsons is a father of two, ages 11 and 13, and believes there should also be national restrictions.
