Mr. Speaker, I think we are all in agreement in this House, or at least I hope we are all in agreement, that the situation that has occurred is unacceptable. The fact that a woman's life has been lost is unacceptable.
People in the sex trade should be valued, just like anyone else in our community. In this instance, clearly there have been issues related to that idea. I hope the committee will get to the bottom of this.
Beyond that, there is an underlying question that I have asked over and over again. The question is whether the current policies and laws that are in place in Canada put sex trade workers at risk. If they do, what do we need to do as parliamentarians to change those laws and put measures in place to ensure that we bring in laws to ensure sex trade workers are not put at even further risk than they are today?
