First of all, it's the money. Most of us are strapped as it is, especially some of us in the settlement area in certain provinces.
I know in B.C. they're looking at having some NGO and government personnel go out with the police on a raid to take charge of the victims so they're not further traumatized and scared by police contact .
They were also talking about some advocacy from NGOs on behalf of the victims, who may not, at times, have legal help--and that's another area I forgot to mention earlier when we talked about services.
As I say, the agency I work with in Vancouver has been named the lead agency in B.C., whenever some money is available, to do case management and allocate what's needed.
There will be needs assessments. There will be databases that have to be built up of services available in each province, and there has to be developed communication between provinces. I worked in Montreal before. We had a young lad who was in domestic labour at age 13. After much prodding, they finally started investigating, and the family picked up and moved to Ontario. If there's no communication from one province to another, things get dropped. In some cases, you do have to move people from one province for their own safety.
Another suggestion I would make, trying to catch some of this, is for some communication between immigration and education, at least for children, so that you can pick up who's coming in but is not going to school. At the moment there is absolutely none. Of course, these victims are not going to school.
It's just a way of trying to get some control. All of this takes money.
