Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Minister, welcome to you and your team.
I am going to speak to you about a subject that is of great concern to you: human trafficking.
I was surprised to find that, according to Statistics Canada data, between 2009 and 2019, Quebec ranked second, and that from 2019 to 2024, Quebec dropped to fourth place. In trying to understand this decrease, I realized that, since 2019, Statistics Canada has been using data from the Canadian Human Trafficking Hotline, in addition to cases reported to the police.
But that is problematic, because you received a report from the Quebec Coalition Against Human Trafficking indicating that francophones in Quebec are not receiving quality, professional service from the Canadian Human Trafficking Hotline. I don't know whether you are aware of this. Did you receive this report?
