I disagree. Yes, the industry self-regulates rather efficiently on the agency/indy level, but there is still room for improvement, and it's still operating in a shady area, due to the 3 provisions. If you have an activity that has been judged legal, yet everything around it is illegal, then you endanger the people in it, and are hypocritical. That is what must be changed.
You can disagree. I am just telling you what I have discussed with others. There is more then just safety issues here. There is huge financial issues as well. After all these years, with the net, with co-operation between indies and agencies behind the scenes with LE, the safety factor issue has gone down. Not so much for SW. Now you change all that and you will see that Toronto will not be the hot spot to visit your SP's anymore. Sometimes having things partial legal is better for those in it. I am not going to get into a debate about it as everyone has their own opinion, but I know many owners and indies who are hoping this does not pass.
