Excuse me for interrupting, Minister. I want to know the number out of 22. I'm obviously not going to get that response, so let's go on to the next question.
While the government is failing to stop these transactions, the lives of children, of women and girls, are being destroyed. Survivors and frontline organizations have told this committee they need action, not just announcements. IRCC detected human trafficking cases from 2019 to 2020. Nineteen large-scale investigations were conducted. Ten were conducted from 2020 to 2021 and from 2022 to 2023. The Global Coalition to Fight Financial Crime has reported proceeds of up to $498 billion.
If incidents and court cases are increasing, how can this government evaluate whether the strategy is actually working?
