Joy Smith

Did you know that Joy Smith, a Member of Parliament from Manitoba, is leading the fight to set a minimum sentence in courts so that judges have a proper reference to set a punishment for those who engage in trafficking within Canada? Currently, the minimum sentence for trafficking a minor (www.joysmith.ca/index.asp?ID=76&cat_ID=1):

USA - 10 years
India - 7 years
Thailand - 5 years
Canada - 0 years

If this outrages you, then it's time to act. Listen Up TV has a form letter you can use to contact your government officials (www.listenuptv.com/listenup/Humantrafficking). I have sent out many letters and have been pleasantly surprised to receive many responses back. We need our governments, both federally and provincially, to understand what kind of Canada we want for ourselves and our children. Please take a few minutes, because that's really all it takes, to voice your opposition to human trafficking for the victims who are unable to do it for themselves.
