Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Piragoff, the minister spoke about exploitation. We've heard lots of commentators talk about the exploitation of the prostitutes, men or women, who are in this business. Bill C-36 focuses on exploitation, on material benefit, that is exploitive in nature. I'm wondering if you can tell us a bit about why you focused on that. Do you feel that by focusing on those who exploit—in other words, a pimp who takes 75% or more of the fee that the prostitute receives as their fee, or the strip club or massage parlour owner who takes a significantly higher portion than the individual would receive from that fee, people who extort money from prostitutes in other ways—how will that in your view make the lives of prostitutes safer and assist them in exiting the business?
