Élisabeth Brière at the Justice and Human Rights Committee

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I thank all our witnesses for being with us this afternoon.

My first question will be to Ms. Lindstrom.

Ms. Lindstrom, your organization calls for the decriminalization of sex work. You also alluded to the impact of municipal bylaws on the safety of sex workers. Can you elaborate on this?

Then you could tell us about the police. Would the decriminalization of sex work make sex workers feel more comfortable reporting cases of violence or trafficking that they detect in the field?

Thank you.
