Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I just want to say, for the record, that I too was here when Bill C-36 was passed, and despite some implication here that there was broad support for the bill, only Conservatives voted for it. The Liberals and New Democrats did not.
I want to go back to the representatives from Halifax and talking about a public health approach. I'm assuming the situation in Halifax is the same as it is in my community, where you find an overrepresentation of indigenous people, racialized Canadians and often those who are from my community—the LGBT community—represented in sex work. I wonder if that is in fact the case in Halifax and whether the general causes you're talking about are the same: the lack of access to the basic necessities and to good employment opportunities.
