Mr. Speaker, human trafficking is a very real phenomenon in my riding.
In 2015, 33 minor female runaways were sexually exploited in Laval alone. We need prevention, but a lot of resources on the ground as well.
However, something we could do right now and right here is implement Maria Mourani's bill, which was passed in the House of Commons last year. The bill would severely punish anyone who exploits our young women.
Can the government tell us if it will quickly set a date for implementing the bill?
