    ----- Original Message ----- From: Perrin, Benjamin [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, February 20, 2012 01:15 PM To: Anwar, Shaila Subject: Case study as requested by Committee As requested by the committee - the Budapest case information. This is from pg. 44 of Benjamin Perrin, Invisible Chains: Canada's Underground World of Human Trafficking (Viking Canada, 2010): A March 2007 email to the Canadian Embassy in Romania from a regional intelligence officer for the Canada Revenue Agency in Niagara Falls, Ontario, identified aspects of the problem. “I have read some dancer contracts and a couple of clauses really troubled me,” the officer wrote. According to her report, one clause stated, “[T]he club owners have the right to hold all ID until the terms of the contract are fulfilled,” while another required “that monies will be held until terms of the contract are fulfilled, less disbursements. These two clauses themselves smack of slavery.” Frederick Matern, one of Canada’s top immigration officials in Bucharest, replied in a detailed, but heavily censored, email obtained under the Access to Information Act. Among other things, Matern raised concerns about women from the region being brought to Canada to work as exotic dancers, including evidence of blatant deception by the contractors. “In order to conform to HRSDC [Human Resources and Social Development Canada] requir[e]ments,” Matern noted, “we are getting shown very different contracts by people seeking work permits. I suspect that the contracts that conform to HRSDC are nowhere close to the truth.” Indeed, in a case documented by the Canada Border Services Agency, a woman from Romania came to Canada under a work permit as an exotic dancer.

    WEEK THREE – GET EDUCATED – ADDICTION, DRUGS, ABUSE & HUMAN TRAFFICKING UNDERSTANDING ADDICTION Dr. Michael Krausz’s (UBC, St Paul's Hospital) The Centre for Health Evaluation and Outcome Services Survey of 500 chronically homeless people in 3 BC communities found a ‘higher-than-expected level of childhood trauma with 80% of participants suffering significant trauma, abuse, violence, or emotional neglect as children. Most of the study participants have experienced more than one type of maltreatment, experiences that have devastating lasting impact, including moderate to high risk of suicide. Many also suffered severe mental health challenges such as schizophrenia, mood disorders, and fetal alcohol syndrome.’ 1 Defining Addiction Dr. Paul Earley, an Addiction Medicine physician, defines addiction this way: “Addiction is a primary, progressive, biochemical, psychosocial, genetically transmitted disease of relapse [hallmarks of denial, loss of control, manageability; the only disease that tells you, you don't have it].”2 What Addiction is Not A behavioural issue [“Just change your behaviour!”] An ethical issue A choice A lack of will power A problem only “bad” people have Not a symptom of another psychiatric illness [it is a disease of its own; addiction has a life of its own] Two Types of Addiction 1. Substance addiction Alcohol, drug, smoking, prescription drugs, caffeine, food/over eating. 2.

Introduction Heralded as “historic legislation” by Prime Minister Stephen Harper (3 April 2014), the Victims Bill of Rights Act (Bill C-32) was recently introduced in the House of Commons by the Honourable Peter MacKay, Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada. In announcing this proposed legislation that followed an extensive public consultation period, the Prime Minister (3 April 2014) said: “The new legislation being introduced in Parliament today aims to ensure that victims are at the heart of our judicial system . Victims will have enforceable rights in Canada’s criminal justice system, will be treated with the respect and fairness that they deserve, and will have a stronger voice.” However, concerns have been expressed that Bill C-32 does not live up to the expectations of victims.

  • For Immediate Release August 16, 2015 Letter to the Prime Minister
    For Immediate Release August 16, 2015 Letter to the Prime Minister from Justin Trudeau MONTRÉAL – The Leader of the Liberal Party of Canada, Justin Trudeau, today sent the following letter to Stephen Harper: Prime Minister, Evidence presented at the Mike Duffy trial demonstrates there was an attempt by members of your staff to cover­up Mr. Duffy’s expenses and then provide a false version of events to Parliament and to Canadians. Your staff tried to end an independent audit by Deloitte, they manipulated a Senate report, and they crafted talking points about these events that were simply not true – including the details of Nigel Wright’s $90,000 cheque to Mike Duffy. The e­mails demonstrate that senior members of your current campaign team, including Marjory LeBreton, Irving Gerstein, and Ray Novak, were a part of these activities. This evidence is raising extremely serious questions about your judgement and your public statements to this point. 1. You stated during the first leaders’ debate of this election campaign: “When bad actions arise, the role of the leader is to take responsibility and hold people accountable.” If you stand by that statement, and if you have any respect left for the office that you are privileged to currently hold – why have you not already fired the members of your team who were involved in these activities? 2. You stood in the House of Commons and said Nigel Wright’s decision to write a $90,000 cheque was “not communicated to me or to members of my office.” Yet evidence at court shows that Nigel Wright e­mailed the PMO’s lawyer, Benjamin Perrin, and your current Chief of Staff, Ray Novak, indicating he was sending a personal cheque.
