Mr. Orr, you mentioned earlier that Bill C-10 in March 2012 amended the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act to provide the CIC minister with the discretionary authority to instruct officers not to issue work permits to those who could be vulnerable to abuse or exploitation, including sexual exploitation or human trafficking. On July 14, 2012, CIC stopped processing new work permit applications from temporary foreign workers intending to work for businesses related to the sex trade, namely, strip clubs, escort services, and massage parlours. This policy was codified in regulation in December 2013.
Could you tell us if there are still cases in which CIC is catching sex-trade workers? In your opinion, has this legislation been a positive step so far?
