Thank you.
One of the things we discussed here quite openly was the issue of the criminalization of the user or the buyer, and the decriminalization of the women, obviously in this case, as one of the things we want to do. I'm glad you're reinforcing that kind of concept.
The other is the issue, which I and other colleagues raised, that poverty is at the root of it, both within Canada and abroad. I think that's clearly understood by us, and it requires a broader study, which we intend to do in the new year, to deal with women's economic security. Of course, this would be within Canada, but with respect to development and international agreements and international work, that would certainly be part of it.
I want to go to the TRPs. One of the things I have been saying for some time is that the three months, the 120 days, isn't going to do it. I was looking at a one-year permit that would allow the women to get a work permit in addition to the proper social and support services they would require. I think the agreement, which one of you said was six months...so you and I are on the same wavelength of six months to a year.
The other thing I wanted to clarify with Ms. Ekberg was the additional social aspect that you said Italy has and Sweden doesn't. What does that mean exactly, in terms of how it's implemented? Is that in the legislation? Do they have a permit?
