I'm going to talk again about the time I had in Sweden, because they had enacted the law. What they did, which is perfectly doable here, is to educate police and Crown attorneys about not only what the law is but the intent of the law. The intent of the law is to create a safer Canada and to eradicate prostitution because we don't see it as a fair and equal trade. We don't see it as something we want to continue in our society.
We need to educate everyone from beat cops right up to the Crown attorneys. We can do that in a number of ways. We have city cops, we have RCMP. It can be as simple as sending out a directive that those officers can then talk about, or it can be like a travelling panel that goes to all the different districts and does the education. Canada is a pretty big country compared to Sweden, so we might have to get a little creative with that, but I don't think it's impossible.
In our world now everything is done on Zoom. There's no reason we couldn't have Zoom calls with multiple police officers informing them, educating them, and then their going on and talking to their colleagues and the ones they're in charge of.
There's another thing they did. Not only did they do police education, but they also did social education on billboards, on the side of buses, everywhere. They explained why they had passed these laws and what the intent of these laws was. It was a social as well as political campaign that came together to help foster this change in the country.
