Mr. Speaker, I have another petition to introduce from Calgarians concerned about offences related to prostitution. They feel that section 213 of the Criminal Code should be a hybrid offence so that these offences could be prosecuted as either a summary or indictable offence.
They call on the government to make such a change and give authorities greater flexibility to address the problem of prostitution.
I currently have Bill C-397 which proposes to make these very changes and the petitioners encourage every member to support Bill C-397.
