Mr. Speaker, I have two petitions to present.
In the first petition, the petitioners draw attention to the high percentage of prostitutes who are forced into the sex trade and trafficking.
As we have no law on the books right now, there is a gap there. The petitioners are calling on the House of Commons to legislate that it be a criminal offence to purchase sex with a man, woman, or child, and that it be a criminal offence for pimps, madams, and others to profit from the proceeds of the sex trade.
