Justice Minister Rob Nicholson told the House of Commons on Wednesday that prostitution “harms individuals and communities.”
“That is why I am pleased to indicate to the House that the government will appeal and will seek a stay of that decision.”
Ontario Attorney-General Chris Bentley quickly followed suit, saying the province will join in the appeal to the province's top court.
Mr. Bentley said the laws “protect people from being lured or coerced into prostitution, they protect people from being under domination of those who would prey, and they protect communities from the adverse effects of prostitution-related activities.”
