Justice Robert Goldstein's decision says the Protection of Communities and Exploited Persons Act, brought in by the former Conservative government, balances prohibition of 'the most exploitative aspects of the sex trade' while protecting sex workers from legal prosecution. (Tijana Martin/The Canadian Press)

The most exploitative aspects of the sex trade are enabled by it's prohibition. Any idiot knows the market for sex work doesn't simply disappear because you want it so. Just now the sex workers involved can't easily appeal to authorities when they're being exploited.
