Review of Legislation on Prostitution: Discussion (Resumed)
2:55 pm
Mr. Fergus Healy:
Whatever model is put in place by the Legislature, it is easier to convict off-street prostitution while it is difficult to detect what happens in an apartment. The 1993 legislation did deal with the problem. Off-street prostitution has become a lot more sophisticated and makes it much more difficult to detect.
