Subcommittee fails to recommend  legal reforms needed to promote  human rights of sex workers.
In December 2006, the House of Commons Subcommittee on Solicitation Laws released its longawaited report on the criminal laws related to prostitution in Canada, entitled The Challenge of Change: A Study of Canada's Criminal Prostitution Laws. The Subcommittee's report fails to call for amendments to the Criminal Code provisions which have been demonstrated to increase the health and safety threats faced by sex workers. The Canadian HIV/AIDS Legal Network and two sex worker organizations, Stella and Maggie's, jointly published an analysis of the report.
