Thank you very much.

Thank you for coming to committee, Maria. Congratulations on your work on human trafficking.

Bill C-452 will add heavier penalties to human trafficking offences by requiring the imposition of consecutive sentences for engaging in this type of terrible conduct, in my opinion. It's the kind of thing we don't want in this country.

Do you agree that penalties for this type of offence should be severe, and if you do, why?
