I don't think I can give you a comprehensive answer to your question, Madam Chair, but we've talked about the Dutch rapporteur, so one has to remember that in Holland, for instance, human trafficking is defined exclusively in terms of sexual exploitation and does not include other forms of exploitation, as the Canadian law does.
Also, the problem tends to have been reduced to a question of sexual exploitation. There is much more to human trafficking. There's also much more to human trafficking than simply the crossing of borders or the international dimension. So when we look at the experience of other countries that have adopted a focus on sexual exploitation, we have to remember this is not our definition of human trafficking, neither is it the definition of the United Nations protocol against the trafficking in persons.
In terms of the policy, my own personal view, based on the experience that I have, is that, really, the jury is still out. There is no conclusive evidence either way. Both policies, with regard to prostitution, bring advantages and disadvantages, and yes, there are issues of sometimes creating more problems by our response than by driving some of those social problems into dark corners so we don't see them.
So I do not believe there is conclusive evidence either way, and that is why it is such a hotly debated issue, not only here but everywhere.
