You know then that CBSA is acting to remove. We've heard some testimony here that there is an effort to try to make sure that status is upheld and services are there to try to make sure there's a transition point at which the ultimate needs of the victims...because they are victims of these crimes; they're not criminalized at all. We want to get at the perpetrators too--I can see a valued point in our ability to be able to get at the perpetrators--even to the point where we've heard that our prosecutions won't put these victims on the stand. They don't even need to give testimony.
