Canada's new laws set in 2014 criminalized communicating for the purpose of offering sexual services, purchasing sexual services, receiving financial or other benefits from the purchase of sexual services, recruiting a person for sex work, and advertising the sale of sexual services of others. Do you agree with criminalizing these?

The new laws also gave immunity from prosecution to those who sell and advertise their own sexual services. The model of criminalizing only the purchase of sex, not the selling of it, has been referred to as the Nordic Model of sex work because it originated in Sweden. Canada is among several countries that have adopted the model. Do you agree with only criminalizing the purchase of sex?
