What is important to me is that the committee recognize the need for the zero-tolerance approach. That is also the purpose of the motion.
I am of course thinking of the testimony we heard in Vancouver and Halifax. That is when we heard about the #NotInMyCity movement. I am also thinking about all the work that non-partisan groups have done to combat human trafficking and modern slavery, as well as their testimony.
Although a bill was passed recently, there is still a lot more work to be done. I invite the committee to think about the zero-tolerance approach.
If the goal is to vote once we have a majority, we can retain the motion and come back to it later on. If timing was an issue, that is because the clock is ticking and there are a lot of victims. We were hoping that measures would be taken before the summer, before the report is tabled. If the committee takes a stance on zero tolerance, that would not be at odds with the report. That is what we are moving towards in any case. If the committee does not have a majority on the motion, we can return to it later on, Madam Chair.
