All right. I'll just go, then, to the wrap-up of the main points of what I feel the government should be acting on: reactivation of the Interdepartmental Working Group on Trafficking in Persons; revisiting its mandate; opening cooperation of this group with NGOs, in implementation of effective victim rehabilitation strategies; and giving it the proper funding to do so.
We must ensure that the victim services are available in all the appropriate languages and are comprehensive, and that they include medical, social, and spiritual rehabilitation, protection, and shelter.
When I say shelter, I actually mean federally funded safe houses, where victims are secure from traffickers looking for their property. We urge timely and effective implementation of the guidelines. If possible, victims know they will be safe in a safe house, they are more likely to come forward, and then we will be able to make the necessary arrests.
We encourage law enforcers to continue to actively investigate the Internet chat rooms, mail-order bride sites, modelling agencies, massage parlour and escort ads, and tabloid newspaper ads. We know the businesses are not what they appear to be. My point is, if the men or users can find these women, so can the police. I also urge funding for the RCMP so that they can effectively carry out their mandate.
