Thank you so much for your answer, because it's very consistent with what we've heard through witnesses on this committee up to this time.
I would also like to ask Sister Wilson and Sister Atkinson a question. I was very moved by your presentation, because I have worked with trafficked women, and you know exactly what's going on there.
I was very interested in what you said about the TRPs, because I totally agree with you, six months has to be.... The condition that these women are in mentally and physically, and the fear that's there...it really takes time. I think one of the things that has always baffled me is that police forces, as generous as they are, and they're trying their best.... You can't capture somebody or rescue somebody and then have them testify; it just doesn't work that way. I think there needs to be a better understanding of what it's like to be intimidated very violently. It has a lasting effect.
Right now, on this committee, could either of you answer what the most immediate concern would be, what we could do or recommend most immediately to help the women trafficked in Canada? You and I know they're there. I know some in Toronto. I know some in Sarnia. I know some even here in Ontario. There are very few places where they can go unless you have...and I really thank the NGOs and the churches, because those are places where people open their arms and allow them to come in.
Could you tell this committee what the most important thing is right now to help these people immediately, rather than waiting a year or studying it for the next five years? What can we do to help?
