Status of Women committee  I can address that, if you would like. I think that it is crucial to our being able to provide the continuum of supports that are needed to address this issue. I think that all levels of government need to be working together and collaborating to address it and to be working with our communities and those who are in the community, collaboratives such as those in Peel and other communities as well that are doing that work and helping to tailor responses that work for those particular communities and the needs they have.

Status of Women committee  I can definitely talk about having these dedicated supports, as many people have talked about in a lot of presentations here. We all know that the needs of survivors are vast, and providing supports to them through one agency does not meet their needs. Really, it requires a collaborative approach to have those types of services and community come together so that it's not just one program or one service providing them.

Status of Women committee  Thanks, Joy. EFry supports over 5,000 women and girls annually who are at risk of violence; many of them are survivors. Our efforts focus on prevention, support, reintegration and advocacy. Approximately two-thirds of police-reported human trafficking cases in Canada occur in Ontario, and 62% originate in the greater Toronto area, with Peel being a major corridor for this activity.
