Justice committee  Thank you to the members of the standing committee for the opportunity to speak. My name is Nancy Morrison. I've asked the clerk to put before you a statement that was made on July 10, 2014, by Brian McConaghy, a former RCMP forensic specialist. For the last 25 years he's been t

Justice committee  The Inter-Agency Coordination Group statement that I referred to indicated that one-third of the lucrative financial profits gained worldwide from trafficking, totalling about $150 billion a year in 2014, was from the economic or labour aspect of trafficking, and two-thirds was f

Justice committee  One of the things that's never talked about by those who want to legalize prostitution are the children, the teenagers. You cannot separate the issue of children, the young, in the sex trade, as I've said. In the early 1970s in Vancouver, I tied up the provincial courts for abou

Justice committee  To take away that one section that criminalizes women is my first thing. My heart fell as a card-carrying Liberal when I saw that resolution coming along. That wasn't my part of my Liberal Party. Yes, increase penalties, but that's not the answer. The real question is whether w

Justice committee  It's the different climate in the country with regard to prostitution. In Sweden, you see that trafficking has decreased dramatically, particularly from foreign jurisdictions.

Justice committee  No. There are times, obviously, when jails do come in and must be effective, and are effective. There are already sections in the Criminal Code to deal with sex with the underaged, and everything else. There are tough penalties, as there should be. There is no will that I know

Justice committee  I just want to say that poverty isn't really the driving force in worldwide sex trafficking. It's organized crime. It's the fastest-growing, biggest criminal industry in the world. Poverty is one of the reasons there are so many vulnerable people around the world, but don't forge
