Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you for the kind welcome to Treaty 1 territory.
I have a number of questions. I'll try to be succinct.
The first is for Kelly. You talked about harm reduction. One of the realities we're facing with the Himel decision in Ontario is the attempt to decriminalize solicitation, bawdy houses, the johns. The federal government has appealed, but my great fear is that this will become a judgmental kind of response, that instead of seeing these women who have, as you say, been pushed into this role of sex workers, we won't have the intelligent discussion that this opportunity provides. You mentioned clean needles and talks, but it seems to me that when women are ready to make that transition, the resources aren't there. I wonder if you could comment on that.
