Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would need a few minutes to answer that excellent question. People often talk about women's right to security, whereas that is out of the question when we talk about the prostitution of others. Based on that fact, it would be better to enact legislation to protect the women involved in prostitution and all those it affects, perhaps at the risk of interfering with a right that does not exist, the right to prostitute oneself or to incite someone else to do so.
The bill does not all run counter to our position which is that the women involved should be decriminalized and the customers and procurers criminalized. Thus, if we attack supply and demand, we let the women do what they have to do and we help them improve their situation.
