Status of Women committee  Yes.

Status of Women committee  That summit was absolutely wonderful, and I think you introduced the beginning of it, and thank you so much. I think someone who stood out was Dr. Ingeborg Kraus. I would recommend that everybody here look her up. She's a German psychotrauma therapist globally. She's the one who

Status of Women committee  The French translation stopped, so I didn't hear the question.

Status of Women committee  Yes.

Status of Women committee  Absolutely. I think the U.S. surgeon general just said that people shouldn't be on the platforms at 15 years of age. He has young children and he's very concerned.

Status of Women committee  I'm going to say no, because you need to deal with the demand of the sex buyers.

Status of Women committee  I'm going to jump in quickly and I am going to talk fast. I think we have to teach our young boys not to exploit. They are our only hope.

Justice committee  Well, absolutely. I mean, I'm an inner-city high school teacher. I didn't choose to sign up for this. When PCEPA became law, I just started thinking that I would start speaking to law enforcement and to the public to see if they knew about the law and if they were going to enforc

Justice committee  I don't know if you all know the name Joy Smith. She has introduced our three human trafficking laws. I have volunteered for her. Anybody in Manitoba gets this issue. Alberta even gets it. You have Paul Brandt and #NotinMyCity programs there. In B.C., Vancouver has now become a

Justice committee  That's an excellent question. It has the potential to, if the law was actually enforced. The problem in B.C. is that it's not enforced. They are a provincial government. They don't go after the sex workers or the prostituted people who are in the sex industry. They get that piec

Justice committee  I'm not a lawyer, but my brief has suggestions and I've submitted that.

Justice committee  My focus is really British Columbia and, of course, we have a huge number of indigenous people in B.C. I've had the opportunity and honour to present to missing and murdered indigenous women and girls gatherings. The women and girls give me the information. I've also done many ex
