Yes. It's vitally important that we have an ongoing understanding of this industry if we are going to regulate it and provide services to people involved in this industry. So it's vitally important that however we go about regulating this industry, we keep those doors of communication, those channels of communication, open. I don't see that Bill C-36 is doing that. In fact, I think the restrictions on communications and advertising will make it even less possible to access an already difficult population, and an even more difficult population, being the people who purchase sexual services, will become almost impossible now. Sex workers will become more difficult and clients will become impossible.
