I definitely didn't say not to use the criminal law under any conditions. I most definitely didn't say that. I said that there is too much money being poured into this notion of human trafficking and that there are no supports for people who are actually experiencing violence. That's what I'm trying to say.
Also, what I've been seeing in human trafficking initiatives, policies and discussions—because there have been many over the years—is that more money just keeps going into law enforcement, while very little money actually goes back into communities to address the violence that people are experiencing.
One of the other things that has been recommended to this government on many occasions, including at the last justice committee review of the sex work laws, is the removal of the provisions within the immigrant and refugee protections regulations that make it illegal for people to work in the sex industry. The harms of creating that barrier have been demonstrated in statistics and reports that I'm happy to send to you.
There are a lot of pieces of law reform that this government isn't doing and, as I said in my talk, that's where you need to start.
