I'm very glad to see that Mr. Hanger doesn't believe there is a conspiracy, so that's a great start. We're now ready to roll. But I do think Libby is making the point I was trying to make. There is objective data we heard; there is data. Let's put the evidence down and say this is what we heard. Many of them conflict with each other, but we're putting them down and not drawing any conclusions from them, but then come the recommendations. I think we should focus on that. We might find there are one or two that we agree with, and we may find there are a whole lot that we don't, and then that will lead us to make decisions about where the recommendations will go. But I think if we're going to be objective about the testimony we heard, we will place the evidence and the witnesses, we will just put them there, and we will say, look, these were conflicting; there were different points of view, and here they were, and so on.
Maybe we heard evidence from only one group of people in a particular place, like in Sweden, where we just heard from one group. We didn't hear from anyone else. But that's neither here nor there. That's what we heard; here it is. The readers of the report will be able to draw their own conclusions, and then the committee will draw its conclusions--that is, through recommendations, which they will agree on or disagree on.
But we have to get this thing finished by December 8. I think it's an injustice to the communities and to the women out there if we don't get this done. We need to get it done and finished just in terms of the fact that this, the whole idea of this whole thing, was to ensure the safety of communities and of women in the sex trade. Let's just make sure we don't drag our feet on it any more, because we've seen that more and more women are dying in the sex trade in Edmonton and now in Saskatchewan. So I think we need to just get on with it for their sakes.
