I know that human trafficking is one element.... Service provision in rural and remote communities can be so different from what we see in urban areas. I think this is such an important question.
We absolutely are seeing human trafficking in northern Ontario. One of the things that we do see, too, is that especially along highways 11 and 17, there aren't as many people, so it's actually easier for traffickers to be able to move through those areas without being detected. We also have this perennial issue of where do you place services so that they're accessible to everyone given some of the vast geographic areas?
I think northern communities have shown some great progress in service collaboration and coordination, which really goes to the heart of this, and I think a lot of our rural communities are showing best practices in that, even compared to major urban centres. But we also need to be innovative and focus on how we can use digital tools to ensure that those services are accessible to everyone. Lots of human trafficking survivors have issues with accessing virtual tools. It's not easy for everyone, but I think we need to think about how we can adapt the way that we're working to be able to reach people when they're not necessarily a 12-minute walk from services.
