Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all the panellists today in the first hour and the second hour.
It's really important for us as parliamentarians to be able to get information from academics, researchers, panellists and victim services groups, but it's also heartwarming to hear personal stories.
Ms. Smith, your adventure in life that was so horrific is really heartwarming, and I'm so glad you decided to attempt today to share your story, which is really difficult to listen to, to be honest with you.
I want to ask you a question about your experience. It's very important for us to hear the life experience of people who have gone through some problems within the sex trade such as trafficking or violence.
From your experience, if we were to eliminate these laws or laws like them, do you think that vulnerable victims like you when you were younger would be safer or more protected than they are now?
