Thank you.
I was very interested in what Ms. Mourani had to say. I believe she is correct.
Listening to the comments around the table, I can see from Ms. Neville and from others at the table that we need to do much more study on human trafficking so people understand what it's all about.
We are a global community, so people, as we know, are trafficked from abroad into Canada. It becomes a Canadian issue. I think this is an issue that people know little about and I think it merits full attention on our full committee, not in a subcommittee. There are two RCMP officers in charge of the human trafficking here in Ottawa. They have put together a new video for the training of RCMP officers and I think we need to get them in to explain what human trafficking is about.
I know we have many of these other issues that are so important as well and we should not let them go, because the economic issues for all women are extremely important. But I do think we should start first with human trafficking, because I do think there is a lack of knowledge about what's going on in Canada. We need to get the people in to really have the status of women committee standing up for the rights and the respect of women and children.
Most trafficking is done with very young girls, and I think we have a responsibility, as the status of women committee, to do that. So to start with human trafficking I think is very appropriate.
