Kanada följer i Sveriges och Norges spår. Den 6 oktober godkändes det lagförslag som kriminaliserar sexköp, Bill C-36, i det kanadensiska House of Commons.

Joy Smith, en av lagförslagets starkaste anhängare, tror det kommer sända ett tydligt meddelande:

“We heard from a lot of people, including front-line support workers, police services, chiefs, and experts from the legal profession […]. I am especially impressed by all of the victims […] and the survivors who came to testify at both committees, because that is what this is all about – survivors finally talking about what happened to them. Law enforcement agencies and survivors expressed their overall support for the Bill and applauded the strong message it sends that pimps and johns will be targeted for exploiting women and youth.”
