You mentioned also in your testimony the tools that fall under the Criminal Code of Canada to allow police to assist them in investigations. You also spoke of how long it takes to formulate the grounds and then the evidence to proceed with charges under human trafficking, and that sometimes you use other tools in the Criminal Code, such as sections 213, 212, 210 to move forward in that investigation.
I have a twofold question, through you, Mr. Chair, to Mr. Jolliffe. What would you say is the average time of investigation for a human trafficking charge, from the time you start to the time a charge is laid? What other tools do you use to try to get there?
It is important for people to understand that this doesn't happen overnight.
