This motion is, in fact, simply a complement. I will explain why.
In May, Ms. Smith tabled a motion in the House on the international trafficking of women and children. It is on the Order Paper. The committee had not yet begun its work, but I had seconded her motion with great pleasure.
Since the committee has begun the process and we are talking about trafficking in Canada, I thought we should put forward a motion that would be in some ways a complement to Ms. Smith’s motion, referring to the adoption of a comprehensive strategy to combat human trafficking in Canada, taking into account the particular circumstances of each province.
I believe that this motion will be universally endorsed by this committee, since it has been the subject of our discussions since we began sitting.
