I'm glad you asked me that. I do think that Bill C-36 would address demand. It helps the women by decreasing the market. It's using a really crass economic term, which is one way of viewing prostitution. If there was no market then women would not have to be recruited to be fed into that market. Their vulnerability is taken advantage of for that reason.
I don't think it would be driven underground for the simple reason that the johns still have to be able to find the women. So it's not going to be underground. I think this notion that women will be less safe when they're hidden away somewhere is very interesting. I'm not sure where that underground is. Is it supposed to be a bunker somewhere, or a cellar somewhere? We hear this term “underground”, but there are going to be places where johns can find them. I think it's interesting that sex industry industrialists are asking for women to be indoors where it is safer, but they are afraid they would be pushed out of sight into underground places. There seems to be this really duplicitous sense of what would keep women safe.
What we know from working with women is that the harm comes from the johns no matter what the location is. There is no way to keep them safe.
