Status of Women committee  Yes, that was me. Oftentimes, it will present as something else.

Status of Women committee  Yes, definitely. Other things it may present as are intimate partner violence or domestic violence, or even just a noise disturbance, maybe at a hotel or an Airbnb. It definitely would be an opportunity to put some information in that database, as well as missing persons. We know that oftentimes they'll go missing for periods of time.

Status of Women committee  Definitely. I think that Andrea spoke to it as well. That, definitely, is something that would be helpful. I want to speak to the lack of trust. I know that oftentimes traffickers will create some fear in the victim to come to law enforcement. We, here in Peel, have some wonderful community partners who have been working at this for a very long time.

Status of Women committee  Is there a translation?

Status of Women committee  Thank you. I just put it on.

Status of Women committee  No, I'm sorry.

Status of Women committee  Definitely collaboration is the key. No one agency can do this alone. This is why we started our committee in 2015. We have been working together for a number of years, looking at opportunities to fill some of the gaps that we're seeing. Jody spoke specifically about housing and the nCourage anti-human trafficking services hub.

Status of Women committee  The survivor-led training that's provided by Timea Nagy is very comprehensive. It's three-hour training, and it talks about things that you should look at as a police officer who's on the road, different signs that you may come across that somebody could potentially be trafficked.

Status of Women committee  I really think that education is the key. I believe Andrea Scott spoke about that earlier as well. That individual may not come forward, but there is an opportunity for someone to really look at the signs that somebody may be trafficked, and maybe that person is apt to come forward on their behalf.

Status of Women committee  Yes, definitely. That's why we mentioned in our brief that having a national database where we can share information with other jurisdictions and law enforcement agencies would be very, very helpful.

Status of Women committee  I would have to agree. Stiffer fines definitely would help, but even being able to share the information from province to province, jurisdiction to jurisdiction, would be very helpful as well.

Status of Women committee  Thank you. I'll go first. My name is Constable Joy Brown. I am the Peel Regional Police lead on human trafficking in the community mobilization unit. I am also the chair of the Peel Human Trafficking Service Providers Committee, whose membership includes over 40 community partners, including EFry.
