I think it's true. When we look at the reality out there in Canada, there are so many reasons victims may not want to come forward. Other countries, for example, have more stringent sentencing and more clarity.
If a young person in particular is being trafficked, just imagine the fear they have going into court, the stigma. The current definition, for example, has the term “reasonableness” in it. You are a lawyer. Lawyers are very smart; they know the system. By having reasonableness in it, you can introduce things like the stigmas that surround human trafficking and other factors that can be put in there to cause doubt.
Quite often victims will recant what they've said; they live in fear of these traffickers. They know the sentences, too, and that they're going to be out in a shorter period of time. This is not designed to be the be-all and end-all, but it will be another tool to give Crown prosecutors the ability to get more people into court and hopefully get more convictions.
