Thank you, Madam Chair. Through you, I first want to commend all the witnesses.
You are heroes to all women. Thank you for what you do, because I know it's not easy.
My first question is for Jasmine De Fina.
Jasmine, I've admired your work. I know that you're working to educate people at schools—students and teachers—and also police officers on awareness of human trafficking. It is crucial in this country that we stop or at least put a halt on human trafficking.
As you and I have discussed many times, 93% of people who are human trafficked are women and children. Twenty-two per cent of that 93% are under the age of 18. Seven per cent are boys, and they don't make it: A lot of them commit suicide. It's tragic. This is not the Canada that we want to remember.
My first question for you, Jasmine, is about communities across Canada that are increasingly worried about public safety and about repeat offenders targeting vulnerable women and girls, while support systems remain overwhelmed. Do gaps in the current justice and social support systems continue to leave survivors at risk?
