Canadian Government Against Anti-Prostitution Laws

The federal government will appeal an Ontario court ruling that struck down Canada's anti-prostitution laws.

Justice Minister Rob Nicholson made the announcement today in the House of Commons.

Tuesday's decision struck down three provisions of the Criminal Code surrounding prostitution -- communicating for the purposes of prostitution, keeping a common bawdy house, and living on the avails of the trade – saying they are a danger to sex workers.
