Thank you, Chair. It looks like I'm going to get in just under the wire here.
Witnesses, thank you for your testimony today. It's very enlightening and illuminating.
I'll start with Peers Victoria, with Ms. Forbes and Ms. Phillips.
I'm here replacing Murray Rankin, who is the member of Parliament for Victoria. He had a few questions that he wanted me to go over with you, because it's a community that he represents and is very familiar with.
When you hear someone say that selling sex is an inherent form of gender violence, how do you respond to that? At committee we've heard from previous witnesses who say there's a disparity in power between those who are purchasing sex and those who are selling it, and that it's exploitative by nature. What does Peers say about that?
