Thank you, Mr. Chair.
To begin I'd like to stay with the issue of advertising.
Could one of you tell me whether you agree with this statement? It's from a document written by Sandra Ka Hon Chu, Jenn Clamen, Richard Elliott, Katrina Pacey, and Tara Santini, with the Canadian HIV/AIDS Legal Network, Pivot Legal Society, and Stella.
Here's the question. Tell me if this is an accurate depiction of Bill C-36:
...any party (e.g., newspaper, website, phone-service, etc.) that is a vehicle for sex workers' advertising their services is guilty of a crime. This makes it virtually impossible for a sex worker to advertise. Even maintaining one's own website leaves the Internet Service Provider (ISP) host exposed to prosecution.
Would you agree with that characterization of what's in Bill C-36?
