My understanding of the provision about advertising sexual services is that anyone who provides that service.... The sex worker would not be criminally charged with doing the advertising, but there would be no place for her to legally advertise. This is the problem. We're trying to figure out where she could legally advertise. Are we going to have a situation where people are putting cards up in phones booths? It's not even clear if that wouldn't be communicating in public, so that becomes even another grey area.
One of the things Emily Symons was speaking about this morning was the fact that by prohibiting advertising you're also taking other things away from sex workers. They can advertise, but they advertise on places like CERB. Those places offer sex workers spaces where they can communicate, where they can share information on bad dates. So not only are you denying them the ability to advertise, but you're actually taking away a security mechanism as well.
For me, it's very clear that sex workers can advertise, but they won't have any place that will accept their posts.
