O TTAWA - The federal government announced Wednesday it will spend $ 25 million to combat human trafficking. The money will be doled out over four years on a number of initiatives, ranging from victim identification and assistance to police training and public awareness. " This is a robust plan that demonstrates Canada's unwavering commitment to action," Public Safety Minister Vic Toews said. Toews said the plan consolidates the work of more than a dozen federal agencies and departments to address human trafficking in the sex trade and forced labour. The strategy will create the first integrated law- enforcement team to combat human trafficking. The team will include members from the RCMP and Canada Border Services Agency. Toews said the goal isn't just to prosecute more offenders but to help prevent human trafficking. The government also plans to develop a tool to help identify those most at risk for trafficking, improve data collection on the issue, develop education campaigns, create a $ 500,000 victims fund and work on ways to prevent the sex trade from bringing in workers through the Temporary Foreign Worker program. There will be specific initiatives to improve detection and prevention protocols within that program to try to combat forced labour, as well as a policy for visits to work sites and training for provincial labour inspectors. Carleena McGuinty, the child protection policy expert at World Vision Canada, said forced labour is more common in human trafficking than the sex trade. " Nine out of 10 victims are trafficked for labour," she said. Earlier this year, Canada cracked the first forced- labour ring in this country involving 19 victims from Hungary who were forced into slave labour in Ontario's construction industry. McGuinty said one of the greatest results of the strategy will be awareness among Canadians that human trafficking is alive and well in Canada. Manitoba Tory MP Joy Smith was instrumental in helping to develop the strategy. She introduced and passed a private member's bill implementing mandatory minimum sentences for the trafficking of minors, and is currently shepherding a bill through Parliament to allow Canadian laws to apply to Canadians who traffic victims outside the country. In 2010, Smith released a list of recommendations for a national strategy, one of which was a law to criminalize the purchase of sex. Last December, she introduced a petition calling for such a law. Toews said the strategy will use existing laws. Smith said the strategy will help cut the supply of victims but she acknowledged there's more she'd like done. " It's not everything there is to do but it's a really strong beginning," she said. There are an estimated 15,000 trafficking victims in Canada. Human trafficking has been a specific crime in Canada since 2005. Since then, there have been 42 convictions. Another 59 cases remain before the courts. mia. rabson@ freepress. mb. ca Tories bolster fight against sex- trade, labour trafficking By Mia Rabson ' This is a robust plan' - Vic Toews, public safety minister TWO Manitoba teens have pleaded guilty to manslaughter after a woman was decapitated during a botched carjacking last summer. The girls, who were 17 and 15 at the time of the July 2011 incident, admitted to manslaughter and car theft and will be sentenced later this summer. The Crown is seeking the maximum youth penalty of two years in custody, in addition to the almost 12 months they have already spent in custody. Roberta Dawn McIvor, 32, fell asleep in her car in Sandy Bay First Nation near Portage la Prairie. The two girls jumped inside and took it for a ride before they pulled over and tried to remove McIvor. As they drove away, McIvor became tangled in her seatbelt and was dragged for a short distance before suffering the deadly injury. " They didn't realize this was happening. They just thought they would put her out of the car and be done with it," defence lawyer Greg Brodsky told the Free Press . He is representing one of the youths and said she was stunned to learn McIvor had died. He will seek a sentence of time already served. McIvor had a 14- year- old daughter. Brodsky said extra security measures were in place for Tuesday's court hearing. " The community is really torn up, all up in arms over this on both sides," he said. A report on the aboriginal background of the two accused has been ordered and may be used by defence lawyers to argue for a more lenient sentence. www. mikeoncrime. com Teens plead guilty in decapitation death By Mike McIntyre TIM SMITH / BRANDON SUN Hoofin' it Animal- control officer Kelly Pettinger makes a run for it as he tries to capture one of two moose at J.
