No Legalized Brothels for 2010 Olympics – Canadian Justice Minister

The Canadian Justice Minister has rejected the notion of decriminalizing prostitution, a move that had been called for by a British Columbia organization leading up to the 2010 Olympics.

“We are not in the business of legalizing brothels, and we have no intention of changing any of the laws relating to prostitution in this country,” Justice Minister Rob Nicholson told the Commons Status of Women Committee on Thursday.

A group calling itself the B.C. Coalition of Experiential Communities was attempting to pressure the government to create legal brothels for the upcoming Winter Olympics in 2010. The move had the support of both Liberal MP Libby Davies and Vancouver mayor Sam Sullivan.
