Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Malarek, for attending today--truly disturbing testimony, I must say.
I have a couple of questions, but I want to go first to the issue that you just finished up on, and that is the demand side.
I can't help but think there has to be.... Well, let me just put it to you. What can we do in terms of moving the attitudes of men around this issue? I think you spoke to it quite well, very eloquently. What is it going to take to move those attitudes? There are probably a number of different things that could be done. What do you envision we in government could do to help reinforce the fact that this is unacceptable behaviour, that society should not tolerate it? What do you see as the best way to remedy and to start to move and reduce the demand side? Ultimately, that's at the root.
We're doing a study here on human trafficking. We've learned from you and other witnesses that human trafficking is propelled by the prostitution industry, the sex trade, the sex slavery that goes on. So it all ties back to ultimately getting at the root of this issue, the root of this phenomenon, which is the demand, and it's men. What do you envision would be a good solution?
