It is one thing to impose your ideals and morality on Canadians it is yet another to use millions upon millions of taxpayer dollars in the self promotion of those misguided and ideals under the guise of being morally offended by someone's chosen vocation.
What makes this position taken on prostitution by the Conservative Party even more offensive is that they have shown no remorse for their own abuses of electoral laws while claiming to be morally offended by someone who chooses to make an honest living by giving value for service rendered.
Prostitution is only a crime where a person is forced into the trade against their will. We have existing laws that cover the confinement and forcing of individuals to perform sexual acts against their will and to live off the avails of prostitution.
What we lack is the Federal governments will to provide sufficient financial assistance to police and control the existing laws.
Creating a fantasy law simply to have your name on it and spend taxpayers dollars to do so knowing full well that it will fail the test of SCoC is in itself criminal.
Mark my words here folks..... it is the Conservative Party's intent to invoke the "Not withstanding clause" so that they can circumvent the Canadian Charter of Rights and impose the Reform morality on Canadians.
Robyn Urback: Peter MacKay hopes Bill C-36 will eliminate prostitution in Canada. Good luck with that
"The world’s oldest occupation will meet its match, apparently, in Canada’s own Peter MacKay. The Justice Minister spoke to the government’s plan to rid society of prostitution — indeed, that is the stated goal — during the first session of justice committee hearings into the government’s new prostitution bill, C-36. MacKay said that he fully anticipates a challenge at the Supreme Court of... Canada, but that Bill C-36 is constitutionally sound and “reflects a fundamental shift toward the treatment of prostitution as a form of sexual exploitation.” Still, MacKay is a realist; the government’s vision of eliminating prostitution will “take some time to realize,” he conceded."
