Thank you, Mr. Chair.
To begin, I would like to welcome all the witnesses and thank them for being with us today.
Human trafficking is a scourge. I was particularly moved by Mr. Brandt's testimony about children. I can't imagine that happening here in Canada today. I would add, however, that it is part of our job to try to clarify and improve the laws that are in place.
Ms. Allison, could you continue the answer you were giving when the chair turned the floor over to me? You were giving us your suggestions.
You also talked about standardization, and you were asking that there be consistent application across Canada. For example, you mentioned that British Columbia did not always apply the provisions set out in Bill C‑36, and that surprised me.
You also talked about the issue of criminal records. In a way, the existence of criminal records prevents offenders from working.
I would like you to continue to list the things that could help improve the situation.
