Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My first question will be for the panel. I'm going to talk about smugglers. I will be within the scope once I've finished the question.
I was watching a video and reading an article online about smugglers smuggling individuals from the Mexican border to the U.S. These children were making roughly $200 to $300 per individual from Central America and $500 for smuggling individuals from Latin America. Within a night they were making more than their families were making in certain industries.
I'm going to revert to how this relates to this study. Do you believe that change in a nation's education laws will decrease child labour? The example I just gave shows that many families weren't able to fund their children's education. If the state did it at a national level, do you think we could help decrease child labour in the main areas we've been focusing on, which are Southeast Asia, Bangladesh, and the Pacific?
