Thank you.

I was interested in your suggestion about emphasizing the prosecution of the person who is doing the trafficking, who is forcing women--and I suppose young men, for that matter--into prostitution.

I'm not too sure what that meant. Are you suggesting a new defence for women who have been forced into prostitution for the many different reasons you've talked about and that members of the committee have talked about? You're not suggesting that?
