Task force was first appointed in May 2020 and heard stories from victims and survivors
Alberta’s United Conservative government is moving ahead with calls to action from a task force on human trafficking, including establishing an office to combat the practice.
Shandro noted it would need to form a strong partnership with the Indigenous community, and that an “Indigenous-specific response would need to be incorporated in every aspect of the office’s operations, support, training, education as well as outreach.” “Combatting human trafficking requires constant vigilance and co-operation across ideological and political lines,” Brandt said in his statement, which was read at the news conference by fellow task force member Heather Forsyth.
The government says in a news release the panel engaged with nearly 100 experts and survivors of trafficking. It says the practice includes sexual exploitation, forced labour trafficking, and trafficking in human organs or tissues.
