Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you for your evidence today.
You've just brought up a very good point that I'd like to expand upon, and that is the link between young girls brought into the country to work as exotic dancers or strippers in strip joints and how that can lead to prostitution, if it hasn't already. As far as I'm concerned, one is linked to the other. They're controlled by criminal activity.
Would you give me your thoughts on how we deal with that portion of it, that link between these facilities that allow for exotic dancers...? We know that's just a link to prostitution in most cases—not all, but most. How can we stop that part of it? The prostitution part of it is an arm of that, and a lot of these women who are brought in from outside Canada, and from within Canada as well, are introduced to it through the strip clubs.
Your thoughts, please, Madame Dufour.
