They feel that section 213 of the Criminal Code should be a hybrid offence so that these offences could be prosecuted as either a summary or indictable offence.</p>\n<p>They call on the government to make such a change and give authorities greater flexibility to address the problem of prostitution.</p>\n<p>I currently have Bill C-397 which proposes to make these very changes and the petitioners encourage every member to support Bill C-397.</p>",
