==Progression of Regulation, with an example.== If you are an internet website providing information on reproductive health for the sake of science and education, and a claim is made to the Enforcement Authority (EA), or the EA investigates you for 'making available' 'pornographic content', you will be served with a Non-Compliance Notice if; "'''Notice 9 (1)''' If the enforcement authority has reasonable grounds to believe that an organization committed an offence under section 5, the enforcement authority may issue a notice to them under this section."<ref name=":0" /> Remember, under Section 5, an offence is committed by 'making available pornographic content'. Also remember that the term 'making available 'is highly broad, and 'pornographic content' is defined as general nudity<ref name=":0" />. Additionally, the EA must only have 'reasonable grounds', and no proof of evidence. So, having met these terms, the notice will be structured as such: '''"Content of notice (2)''' The notice must state (a) the identity of the organization; (b) that the enforcement authority has reasonable grounds to believe that the organization has committed an offence under section 5; (c) the steps that the enforcement authority considers 20 necessary to ensure compliance with this Act; (d) that the organization must, within 20 days after the notice is issued, take the steps referred to in paragraph (c); (e) that, if the organization fails to take the steps referred to in paragraph (c) within the period set out in paragraph (d), the enforcement authority may apply to the Federal Court for an order requiring Internet service providers to prevent access to the pornographic material by young persons on the Internet in Canada; and (f) that the organization may make representations to the enforcement authority in relation to any element of the notice within the period set out in paragraph (d)." But because you fall under the defence of '''Defence β legitimate purpose (2)'''<ref name=":0" />, you don't have to comply with the Age Verification or Age Estimation services, and twenty days pass. After this twenty day period, the EA submits an appeal to a Federal Court to block any and all internet access in Canada to your website, without a hearing, and before you can submit your defence. So, because you were providing online sexual health education services in Canada, your website was shut down, and you will be going to Federal Court spending countless dollars of your own, and of taxpayers, to prove that you are in fact providing your service within the frame of education.
