Thank you very much, and thank you, Ms. Tie, for your presentation. I certainly enjoyed it.
I was very interested in hearing you say you felt it was a multi-dimensional problem, because I think we've heard that over and over again with the witnesses who have come before this committee. Certainly, I was very interested--and I know others were as well--to hear your comments on protection and assistance and not just on enforcement issues. Those are all things that I think we've been hearing about over and over again.
I know you commented on the cuts to the Status of Women group. I know you'll be pleased that those are administrative cuts and that this government wants to see those dollars go directly to the organizations that have a direct impact on helping women, not to the organizations whose sole purpose is to lobby government for more dollars. I think we're all on the same wavelength. We want to do what we can to help women, and that's where those dollars are going to go.
I have one question for you, and I know you've had a lot of experience in this and you've looked at a lot of different areas. Is there any one area where there are sound models of legislation or programs to combat human trafficking, either in Canada or somewhere that we could look at as a model? I'm not sure whether we've heard there are other jurisdictions that have anything specific in place that we could use to start our process of recommendation.
