This comes after The Canadian Press sent Ferreri questions regarding the post, which followed a visit to the Kawartha Sexual Assault Centre in Peterborough, Ont.The Conservative MP says that while cost-of-living can increase social problems, it is 'in no way' an excuse for human trafficking. In a statement, the KSAC's executive director says many clients have shared over the past several decades that they were trafficked by a parent or guardian and that this issue is not new.
Brittany McMillan says the centre does not hold any specific government or party responsible for sexual violence but urges all forms of government to invest in prevention and support for survivors.
