Yes. What we heard in the presentations in the past couple of days is that a number of people want to leave the life of prostitution, whatever the length of time they have been engaged in prostitution, and as we have heard from a number of different groups, there are services available to help them.
In Mr. Quinlan's opinion how many of the 2,000 men he knows who are selling sex wish to exit this way of life? We have heard quite clearly of the number of women who wish to leave prostitution.
