"Human traffickers prey on the most vulnerable members of our society — our children," said Premier Doug Ford at the announcement in St. Catharines on Friday. "We must put an end to this disgusting industry and take immediate steps to keep our kids safe. Our new strategy takes strong and decisive action to support survivors, raise awareness, and give our police the tools and resources they need to put these criminals behind bars."
The Doug Ford PC government has made a huge investment, with an additional $202 million, to fight the devastating crimes of human trafficking and child sexual exploitation. It will add to increased education and awareness among stakeholders who are trying to take a more comprehensive approach to fight sophisticated crime rings, including many operating across Peel Region.
