FYI - Here's my email to Chair & Sec of Justice Committee on C-36, as well as my local MP
Dear Ms Boivin and Mr MacKenzie;
I would like to register my strong opposition to criminalizing the purchase of sexual favours provided voluntarily from the many escort / service providers with whom I have become friendly. The act criminalizes paying for PLAYFUL sexual activities between consenting adults. I believe the committee should interview a broad selection of professional escorts, most have made a well paid life-style choice, and enjoy the intimacy with multiple gentleman partners. Why is this victimless behaviour being criminalized when carried out in private ? There is no place for government in the bedrooms of adult Canadians, when the activities are mutually acceptable.
Please refocus the committees concerns toward non adults / children, and those being victimized by violent pimps, or those sexually coerced. However, in my personal experience, they are an small minority and the majority of consenting adults who wish to trade money for sexual fun should NOT be victimized ourselves.
Thank you for considering my views.

Common guys, lets get involved before you lose more of your personal freedoms to the religious right i.e. Conservatives !!!!
