Petition to Justin Trudeau

Whereas:
  • Bill C-452, An Act to amend the Criminal Code (exploitation and trafficking in persons), is an important asset in the fight against child prostitution and sexual exploitation;
  • The Act to amend the Criminal Code provides for consecutive sentences for offences related to trafficking in persons and a presumption regarding the exploitation of one person by another;
  • The Act to amend the Criminal Code adds the offence of trafficking in persons to the list of offences to which the forfeiture of proceeds of crime applies;
  • The Act to amend the Criminal Code was passed unanimously by the House of Commons on November 26, 2013, and the Senate on May 12, 2015, and received Royal Assent on June 18, 2015; and
  • You yourself voted for Bill C-452.
We, the undersigned, Citizens of Canada, call upon the Member of Parliament Justin Trudeau to sign, as Prime Minister of Canada, the order to bring Bill C-452, An Act to amend the Criminal Code, into force as soon as possible and therefore give effect to its provisions.
