Bill C-66
SPOC has been working with other organizations (Press Release and briefs submitted to the senate can be found below) to have historical bawdy-house convictions of our colleagues expunged. On December 20, 2013 the Supreme Court of Canada found the bawdy-house law as it pertains to sex work to be “grossly disproportionate” and invalidated the law. The bawdy-house law as it pertains to sex work was not reintroduced under the Protection of Communities and Exploited Persons Act of 2014, or by any other act of Parliament. Therefore, sex workers meet the criteria for expungement of historical records for the old and now defunct law.
