FINTRAC is now providing you with financial information. We have been advised to look at legislation protecting the pimps' and traffickers' phones so that it doesn't take a year's worth of work to try to compel getting information from their phones. Is there something similar we could do with hotel information? I'll just let you ponder that.
The other piece is this. It came up with our taxi driver when we were in Edmonton. After chatting with him for a bit, he said, “I think I dropped a woman off at Travelodge South who was trafficked. She said she was from Vancouver. She had a francophone accent. She kept talking in French. She said, ‘Pick me up in 48 hours. I have to go back to Vancouver.’” He said he had never thought of it that way, and that I should talk to the taxi association and to the Uber drivers. He also said, “What happens, though, if I call? Will the police arrest a woman who's doing this of her own choice?” I said that was really up to each jurisdiction. It's not a problem to sell sex; it's a problem to buy sex. He said, “If somebody is being trafficked and I call the cops, could they help that woman or man?” I said, yes, that's what we're learning.
He found it very interesting, because he didn't want to be part of the chain that delivered someone on the human trafficking chain.
