From what i've read, it appears that this potential new law (bill c-36) has NOT taken effect.
Here is a reference to where this new anti prostitution law stands...."Once done at the committee, it will return to the House of Commons, which is scheduled to return from its summer break Sept. 15. It has not yet worked its way through the Senate. Canada’s current laws, struck down by the Court, officially expire in December, and the government has pledged to pass Bill C-36 by then."
