Thank you, Madam Chair.
Ladies, thank you again for being here today. I'm going to pick up where I left off in the first round.
In 2019, the federal government implemented a series of measures in the form of a national strategy. The evidence the committee has heard this week from representatives of various departments and organizations has made us realize how important it is to coordinate efforts. It's a crucial element, but one that is lacking. That is just as true for prevention, investigations and prosecutions as it is for victim protection. However, government efforts fall short in a number of ways, especially when it comes to protecting victims, as the U.S. Department of State noted in its report.
What is your view on interdepartmental coordination? From a coordination standpoint, what can be done to better protect victims of human trafficking?
The immigration officials can go first, followed by the women and gender equality official.
