Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I thank you also, Ms. Big Canoe.
I'd like to discuss two issues with you.
First, according to your testimony, Bill C‑36, which was passed in 2014, did not really help the situation. If I understand correctly, in your view, the solution is not to crack down.
I would like you to confirm that and tell me whether the provisions currently in the Criminal Code are sufficient and well suited to address this problem or whether the Criminal Code should also be amended.
Should we amend the part of the Criminal Code related to human trafficking and prostitution?
Then I'd like to talk about consent. Earlier, you said that we should focus on the difference between prostitution and human trafficking. A previous witness told us that the main difference was consent. I thought that was an enlightening distinction. I'd like to hear your thoughts on that.
Can we say it is prostitution when the person gives consent, and say it is human trafficking when the person does not give consent, regardless of age?
