Thank you kindly, Mr. Chair.
I would also like to thank the witnesses for their exceptional presentations. They were quite enlightening.
My first question is for the POWER and Stella, l'amie de Maimie representatives.
You said that local police had already adopted an approach whereby the client was considered to be committing the criminal activity and that the police had been operating that way for several years. Robyn said the approach had not necessarily led to less violence or less prostitution.
I'd like you to tell us what the relationship between sex workers and the police has been like since that approach was adopted.
