I thank the witness for the presentation and for drawing links between prostitution and domestic violence. That adds to earlier evidence from the members of the Turn Off the Red Light campaign. The witness noted that the issue of control is critical to both domestic violence and prostitution, so one would probably seek experience in regard to working with women on the issue of control. There are arguments in favour of the legalisation or decriminalisation model for prostitution which say that if we move in that direction, it would increase the potential for the woman to have more control in the situation. Will the witness comment on that?
