Thank you, Mr. Malarek. You certainly don't mince words. I've heard you before a couple of times, and I appreciate very much your being here today.
You raise many issues. I know you focused on the whole matter of legalization, but in your presentation you raised a number of other issues. I'm struck by your comment on the explosion and by your comment that abject poverty is what leads women into it.
Let me ask you a few questions, and then I'll give you a chance to answer.
Can you speak to the relationship between abject poverty and the explosion? You referenced the Internet in your first two or three sentences, and that's something I'm interested in. We haven't had a lot of discussion on the role that the Internet plays in the whole area of human trafficking. I'd be interested to hear your comments on that. As I said to you before we sat down, I'm interested always in Canada as a source country for human trafficking. Could you speak to that and again perhaps tie that to the issues of poverty and trafficking?
