He said the question would be put forth in the coming weeks but did not provide details.

Moe's office was not immediately available for comment. 

The premier also pointed to a poll by Angus Reid that suggested a majority of Canadians support a ban similar to the one in Australia.

Australia became the first country to prevent youth under 16 from setting up accounts on TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat and Threads.

The poll also suggests many who support a full ban also believe that parents -- not governments -- should be primarily responsible for regulating teens’ social media use.

The survey also comes after a ruling in California last week ordering Meta and YouTube to pay millions in damages to a 20-year-old woman after a jury decided the platforms were addictive.

Social media age restrictions are on the agenda at the Liberals' national convention next month.

Earlier this month, Prime Minister Mark Carney said he had not made up his mind on the issue, but that it should be debated.

He added that the federal government needs to pass online harms legislation and that the question of an "age of majority" for social media would be part of that discussion.

"We're in a position, though, as a country, where our legislation … with respect to online harms, the exploitation of children, is lagging," he said at the time.

"There is a need to at minimum … catch up to that. Naturally, this issue of an age of majority would be part of the consideration of that."

Last year, a committee of Quebec legislature members recommended that social media accounts be barred for youth under 14 unless they have the consent of a parent or guardian.

The recommendation was in the final report of the all-party committee studying the effect of screen time on young people's health.

The report acknowledged that some platforms already have age limits, and that young people are frequently able to get around them, but the recommendation sends a signal to parents and the public about the risks of social media.
