Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome to this meeting of the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights as we resume our study of human trafficking in Canada.
It's a great pleasure for us to be joined by our colleagues from the other place, Senator Mobina Jaffer and Senator Marilou McPhedran.
We also welcome our colleague from the House of Commons, Mr. Rhéal Fortin.
I ask that everyone speak for 8 to 10 minutes, no more, because we want to have time for questions.
We will proceed in the order that appears on the agenda.
We'll start with Senator Jaffer.
