I know that days like this must be very difficult for you. But you've faced many of them in having to come forward and put a public face on what is a very difficult issue.
I've read your history. I know that you were forced into work as a sex slave in Toronto. Coming from Hungary, you were stripped of your identification, and you thought you were coming for a completely different summer experience, as I understand it, and miraculously you somehow managed to escape and make your way back home. Yet you didn't find the support at home either, as I understand it, from the Hungarian police and others. You've come back to Canada, and it's our good fortune that you're making this your home now.
It is my understanding that you have been working with Detective Bert O'Mara and the Canadian police force. I think you've said that you have done training for some 60,000 people, which is amazing. I believe you've been talking to people in Immigration and in the RCMP and other law enforcement as you go about the work you're doing now.
I also understand that in March of 2004, after many long years, the trial, which I'm sure you would have liked to end differently, found that your exploiter and sexual assaulter were acquitted of the charges.
So here's what I'm interested in. You are the person here with the unfortunate experience that we're talking about today. It's fine academically to talk about universal jurisdiction and all these things we're trying to do, but for you, as someone who has both experienced this and is now an advocate, I'm interested in hearing how you feel this bill would have made your experience different.
If we had had this bill then, how do you think your life would have been different, as well as the lives of those who you obviously have come into contact with, who have gone through the same unfortunate experience, and who are being exploited as we speak?
