Minister Day Commends Law Enforcement on Human Trafficking Arrests

News Release

May 18, 2007 — The Honourable Stockwell Day, Minister of Public Safety, issued the following statement today in response to the successful arrest of two alleged human traffickers in Laval, Quebec. The alleged offenders were charged on Wednesday, May 16, with exploiting a 29-year-old Ethiopian woman by subjecting her to forced labour in their Laval residence. “On behalf of Canada’s New Government and the Canadian public, I would like to commend the RCMP, the Canada Border Services Agency and the Laval Police Services for their excellent work, which has led to these arrests. Crimes of this nature, which involve the victimization of innocent people, are particularly abhorrent and represent a direct assault on the values that Canadians hold dear. The trafficking of persons is a scourge that we must all work together to eliminate. Canada’s New Government is committed to ensuring that our country will not be a safe haven for human traffickers.”Information:Mélisa LeclercDirector of CommunicationsOffice of the Honourable Stockwell DayMinister of Public Safety613-991-2863
