This has been a sad embarassment in Canada for way too long.

Even though Canadian politicians promised long ago to eliminate exotic dancing from its list of skilled worker categories for immigration because of fears that traffickers were using it as a loophole to legally import women into forced prostitution, 14 permits were issued last year. Fifteen were handed out in 2007 and 22 in 2006.

What? I thought the Conservatives were against this? I guess they're too busy fighting to stay in power to worry about this nowadays.

Bloc Quebecois balks on support for child trafficking bill
By Daphne Bramham 05-05-2009 COMMENTS(0) Think Tank


There can't possibly be any political upside to not supporting legislation that would increase penalties for criminals involved in trafficking children. But that's what the BQ has chosen to do.

Alone among the parties in Parliament, Bloc MPs (all save one) voted against the private members bill put forward by Manitoba Conservative MP Joy Smith. The bill would amend the Criminal Code, providing for a mandatory minimum sentence of five years in prison for anyone convicted of trafficking children under the age of 18.

So far, there has only been one conviction in Canada for child trafficking and the offender received a three year sentence for trafficking a 15-year-old into prostitution. He earned more than $350,000 by selling her for sex over a two-year period. Because the offender received a credit for time served while awaiting trial, he spent less time in jail than he did exploiting and enslaving the teenager.

Thirty-three groups including the Canadian Police Association, the Manitoba Assembly of Chiefs, the Salvation Army, the Canadian Religious Conference and the Canadian Resource Centre for Victims of Crime support the bill.

The bill will soon be debated by the parliamentary standing committee on justice and human rights. But Smith is concerned that the bill will be passed before Parliament recesses for the summer.

"With the upcoming 2010 Vancouver Olympics, there is an urgent need to pass this legislation quickly," Smith said in a news release. "That is why the Bloc must stop opposing this bill and encourage its speedy passage."

.. but we're trying it again.

A private member's bill, introduced by Conservative MP Joy Smith, calls for minimum five-year sentences for anyone convicted of trafficking someone under the age of 18.

Bill C-268 has passed its second reading in the House of Commons and is now before the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights.

Thanks to the Libs, NDP and the rest who did support this bill and a overflowing bucket of shit to those that did'nt.

Hmmm....maybe it's time Canadians "targeted" the pedophiles and "sex" tourists.

Great defence there.

Nothing about kids.

Nothing about kids.

Got anything on topic to say?

This was a good thread on the original C15 that the Bloc voted against.
A crass political act even more childish that Boots own pointless partisan jabs.

Stick to the topic please.

Wow...everyone thinks this is a new phenomenon but it isn't. this has been going on for years. There was a federally funded training for police and service providers done years ago. We created programs and laws were changed, It was under the liberal government, but no one listened. Vancouver has always been the gateway, but since the Olympics has come about it is a new media frenzy...I have to ask where has everyone been in the last 30 years or so?

I guess one good thing out of the debacle games is awareness to a variety of issues in the West. The reason I say the West is because most of the girls/boys that are moved, some born and raised here, go through Vancouver and onto Calgary first and then through the rest of the country.
