Oldest profession or oldest oppression? : Addressing prostitution after the Supreme Court of Canada decision in Canada v. Bedford

Perrin, Benjamin (author.). Canadian Electronic Library (Firm), (distributor.). Coherent Digital (Firm) (Added Author). Macdonald-Laurier Institute, (issuing body.).

Summary: The future of Canada's laws related to prostitution has become an urgent public policy issue in the wake of the Supreme Court of Canada decision in Canada (Attorney General) v. Bedford. Three prostitution-related offences in the Criminal Code were found to infringe the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and are to be struck down, effective within one year. The Court's decision of December 20, 2013 has spurred a national debate on the issue as Parliament has this limited timeline to adopt any new legislative approach, or else Canada will face the de facto legalization of adult prostitution.
