Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you very much for being here. We appreciate your expertise, and I think we're reassured that there are provisions in place on trafficking in general.
In my community there has been a great deal of concern about preparations for the 2010 Olympics. The Sisters of St. Joseph, the Salvation Army, and a very effective group of women in London, Ontario, have been engaged in this for quite some time. So I thank you for the work and the effort.
I want to start with Superintendent Aubin. You talked about the victims and the difficulty communicating to them that they are indeed victims. I suppose there's a lot of self-recrimination, in the sense that they perhaps feel they deserve what is happening to them. How do you help those victims recognize that they are indeed victims and not criminals, particularly when the police are involved? A lot of them may associate the police with criminality.
