Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I thank the witnesses for their presence and their testimony.
Ms. Ka Hon Chu, you talked about the Bedford decision and the context in which the act was brought into force. Since that time, lower courts have found that parts of the act were unconstitutional and made it more difficult and less safe for sex workers. You said that, in the end, it didn't change much, because the women continued to work. It did not change their reality. In fact, it affected the way they could do their work.
You started answering the question earlier, but I would like to hear more from you.
What should we do with this law, which we are reviewing today? Should we erase everything and start again, or should we change some parts of it? Are there some provisions that are better than others and that have a reason to be there? Should we decriminalize sex work completely?
In short, what do you think the solutions should be?
This is a debate that divides the general population. I would like to hear what you have to say about it.
