Thank you, Madam Chair.
Ms. Hunter, thank you for being with us today. I was just taking notes as I was listening to you. However, for my first turn, I'll turn to Ms. Tallon Franklin.
Ms. Tallon Franklin, we have crossed paths in the past. One of the things we both champion is the fight against human trafficking. This is a cause that concerns us greatly.
You talked about your experience on the street with your child. For a while now, I've been talking about the fact that the issue of homelessness is still very much in the news. In Quebec, in September, we learned that a one-year-old child had been left alone, homeless, in an encampment in Montreal. The mother needed help. Your experience was in 1988, and it is still happening today, in 2026. This is deeply inhumane and unacceptable. It affects me a lot as a mother.
Obviously, there is a strong connection between escaping violence and the issue of poverty. We could also link it to the issue of trafficking victims. They become very vulnerable. There's a lot of talk about the need for women to leave an abusive situation. However, to do so, it isn't enough to walk through the door of a shelter; they also have to be able to recover and rebuild their lives afterwards. This is even more true for victims of trafficking.
Anyway, I'll let you finish what you were saying, because I'm not sure I grasped everything. I may have missed something in your answers. At the very end of your opening remarks, you talked about five proposals, but I noted four. I'll let you finish your remarks on the fifth proposal. Then I'll ask you my question.
