Mr. Charles MacLean (Executive Director, Peel Institute on Violence Prevention, Family Services of Peel) at the Justice and Human Rights Committee

I'm Charles MacLean, the Executive Director of Family Services of Peel, as well as the Peel Institute on Violence Prevention.

Peel is one of the most diverse communities across Canada. It has the highest incidence of human trafficking right across Canada because of its close proximity to both the 401 and the airport.

I'm here with my colleagues, Sandra Rupnarain and Monica Riutort, who is a manager of the institute.

At this point Sandra is going to read from a condensed version of the brief that has been presented.
