Ontario premier's review of prostitution law rewrite finds it constitutional

Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne says a review of the new federal prostitution law by the attorney general's office has found it is constitutional.

Wynne issued a statement the day after the law came into effect in December, saying she had a "grave concern" that it would not make sex workers safer.

She asked Attorney General Madeleine Meilleur to review the law and advise her on the constitutional validity.

Wynne says today that the review found "there's no clear unconstitutionality" so Ontario will be upholding the law.

A coalition of sex-trade workers and their supporters has previously called on Wynne to not enforce the law, which criminalizes paying for sex, communicating for sex or advertising sex services.

The sweeping new changes to the way prostitution is regulated in Canada follow a Supreme Court decision that found the old laws violated the rights of prostitutes.
