Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I'd like to ask two questions, one to Professor Benedet and one to Timea Nagy.

Professor Benedet, can you make further comment about the constitutionality of the asymmetrical offence in Bill C-36, the purchase of sex, as opposed to the decriminalizing of the victim for the most part. Can you comment about the constitutionality of that and compare it to some of these others that are in the Criminal Code right now?
