How does Viviane Lapointe's voting record line up with your values?
Thank you, Evie. In some of the discussions we had, we talked about how this bill is not only about bringing accountability to those committing these crimes. It's also about visibility for the frontline responders who support these victims. Currently, support organizations like yours, Evie, are largely not seen in our judicial system. Can you talk to us about that?
You also talked about how the impact of trafficking doesn't end when the exploitation ends. Can you tell us what is meant by that?
