Ottawa, ON – The Government of Canada today announced the appointment of Ms. Jane Doe as the new Chief Advisor to Combat Human Trafficking. Ms. Doe brings a wealth of experience and expertise in human trafficking policy, law enforcement, and victim support to this role.
The Chief Advisor will work closely with government departments and agencies, law enforcement, non-governmental organizations, and international partners to coordinate and enhance Canada’s efforts to combat human trafficking.

The expansion of the NHTC’s mandate is a significant step forward in the government’s commitment to providing comprehensive support to victims of human trafficking.
“Human trafficking is a heinous crime that has no place in our society,” said the Minister of Public Safety. “This announcement is a clear demonstration of our government’s determination to combat human trafficking and protect those who are most vulnerable.”
Ms. Doe said she is honored to be appointed as the Chief Advisor and looks forward to working with the government and its partners to make a difference in the lives of victims of human trafficking.
“This is an important step towards ensuring that victims of human trafficking have access to the support and services they need to recover and rebuild their lives,” said Ms. Doe.
The government’s announcement has been welcomed by anti-human trafficking organizations.
“We applaud the government for taking this important step to combat human trafficking,” said the Executive Director of the Canadian Centre to End Human Trafficking. “The appointment of a Chief Advisor and the expansion of the NHTC’s mandate will make a real difference in the lives of victims.”
