If I had to respond, I'd say it's very difficult because there are a variety of different types of exploitation that, unfortunately, are used by prospective traffickers of humans.
I've tried to learn as much as I can and will continue to learn about this, but there are a variety of different concepts that I think people misassociate with what I would term the “chains of modern slavery”. It could be everything from forced labour to sexual exploitation. It is anything that is done to force somebody, against their will, to conduct an activity that is most likely, in many cases, and certainly related to human trafficking, for horrible purposes.
Whether it's forced labour, where it might manifest itself in the construction sector or among agricultural workers where it's exploiting people who arrive in Canada seeking freedom from persecution, or whether it's people being exploited for sexual purposes.... Again, my colleague, Ms. Van De Bogart explained that approximately 96% of people are exploited for sexual purposes and of all the people who are trafficked or are victims of human trafficking, 71% of them are trafficked for sexual exploitation purposes.
What does it look like today? It is in all environments. It is in all classes of society. It is in a variety of different industries. The efforts to raise awareness, I think, are some of the best methods that we can do to combat it.
To speak to the point on silos as well, we do work effectively together within the police and law enforcement regulatory bodies. Also, internationally under the partnerships pillar, we are working with international partners to raise awareness—certainly in source countries from which people are potentially trafficked into Canada.
It looks like a lot of different things, and it's something that we are continuing to evolve. Our intelligence reporting continues to provide indicators as to what it looks like today so that we can get better at identifying it and addressing it.
