Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I am in the constituency of Abitibi—Baie‑James—Nunavik—Eeyou, on the unceded territory of the Cree and the Anishinaabe.
Everything you have said today is very harrowing. You have a lot of courage to be here before the committee today. You have gone through terrible things: exploitation and violence. Once again, I greatly admire the strength that you are showing by being here today.
Let's talk about the way trafficking young children starts.
How do you know that those children have been subjected to it? Is there a process? How did you manage to get out?
You can all answer my questions.

Yes, Mr. Chair. My apologies, I had to step away.
Ms. Gobert, you said you want to see certain things happen. What are they?

In your introduction, you mentioned some programs, especially education programs. You said that a Pandora's box must be opened and that political changes must be made. What are your recommendations for making those political changes?

Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My question is for Ms. McGuire‑Cyrette.
I'm going to continue along the same lines as Mr. Powlowski. You talked about colonization, systemic discrimination and support for communities.
According to your research, what can we do to better support communities in response to human trafficking?

My question is for Ms. Smiley, from Concordia University.
You are doing your Ph.D. on violence against women and you created a platform. Can you tell us more about that?

Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My question is for Ms. McGuire‑Cyrette.
You talked about the relationship with child welfare. Do you know whether child welfare agencies have taken steps to tighten up requirements, to prevent indigenous children in the system from being recruited into the sex industry?

Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Earlier, we spoke about programs and services that can be provided to children survivors of exploitation and human trafficking.
What types of care and services should be available to those children, who have been so deeply affected?

Tell us, if you would, about the situation of children who disappear and fall victim to human trafficking. Has the number of cases gone up in recent years or during the pandemic? Do you have any statistics?

Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My thanks to you for being here for this meeting. Your testimony is very important to our understanding of this entire process.
In an article entitled “Trafficking in persons in Canada, 2018” that appeared in Statistics Canada's Juristat, we read that: “ the vast majority of victims of police-reported human trafficking were women and girls (97%).”
Although the article provides no statistics on sex trafficking, it says that: “[t]hese trends suggest that, in Canada, human trafficking for the purposes of sexual exploitation is more prevalent—or more likely to be detected or reported—than human trafficking for other purposes”.
The article does not mention indigenous women and human trafficking for the purposes of sexual exploitation. Can you give us any data on human trafficking for the purposes of sexual exploitation?

We know that the process has gaps in terms of comparative data.
Are there ways to fill those gaps?

Grand Chief Settee, you mentioned earlier that, in northern Manitoba, there is a city triangle where human trafficking takes place. You talked about the need for support for the police, for infrastructure and for secure housing.
Do you have any other recommendations to deal with this trafficking?

Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Ms. Blaney, your statement, your testimony, was very moving. We are learning about everything these women may be going through.
You talked about misogyny, patriarchy, poverty, discrimination, domestic violence, and that was not all. In your opinion, what can be done to remedy the situation? Do you have any recommendations?
You said that it is important that you be part of the recommendations in the fight against the trafficking of indigenous women. Do you have any recommendations for us to consider?

I was saying that I found everything that you said to be very pertinent. It was very moving. I took careful notes.
You said that this is about genocide, poverty, discrimination and misogyny, and that the Indian Act is patriarchal. You said that you wanted to participate as a woman and as a leader in this matter, that it was not up to us to decide, but up to you to see what could be done to remedy the situation.
Do you have any recommendations for us that would help you to solve the problem?
