"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4057778\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I have three petitions today. The first is regarding prostitution. The petitioners note that the most recent legislation on prostitution was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court and they call on the House therefore to declare such sex with a woman, man or child to be a criminal offence and that it also be a criminal offence for pimps, madams and others who profit from the proceeds of prostitution.</p>",

Les p\u00e9titionnaires soulignent que la loi la plus r\u00e9cente sur la prostitution a \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9clar\u00e9e inconstitutionnelle par la Cour supr\u00eame. Ils demandent donc \u00e0 la Chambre des communes d'\u00e9riger en infraction criminelle ces actes sexuels fournis par une femme, un homme ou un enfant ainsi que la r\u00e9alisation de profits par ce commerce, que ce soit par un souteneur, une tenanci\u00e8re.</p>"
