Bridget, if you don't mind, I'd like to call you by your first name.
I want to tell you how much I admire you. Coming here to tell your story is never easy. And I'd just like to thank you for sharing your experience with us. I'm sorry you had to go through what you did and that there are victims of human trafficking who need your help.
It's really commendable, so thank you very much for everything you do.
My question goes beyond Bill C-36.
Let's say that Bill C-36 is passed tomorrow as it currently stands. It is clear that provision 213 criminalizes sex workers. Would you be willing to accept the criminalization of women if the bill were passed as is?
