Yes, and I thank my co-panellist Ms. Smith for sharing her story. I understand that it takes a lot of strength to do that.
I'd like to turn the attention to my brief, in which I outlined that whether we're talking about decriminalization or legalization, we're talking about regulation of prostitution in some way. Bedford said that you can regulate prostitution but you can't do so at the expense of sex workers. Exactly. You can support victims and survivors of exploitation, but you can't do it at the expense of sex workers.
Therefore, if we were to hypothetically remove the laws tomorrow, there are other laws on the books that police can turn to. What Ms. Davis said earlier was, let's support the police—I can't believe I'm saying that—in terms of helping them implement those laws.
The tools are there. Let's use them.
