OTTAWA (CP) —

: prisoners i in their west-end Vancouver apariments. every - io night because they are afraid of being harassed-by street

: prostitutes: ‘and. their customers, ‘Vancouver Mayor Mike | - Harcourt said Wednesday. They will not.feel free to walk city streets in peace and

quiet until the Criminal Code: is amended to prohibit stréet

solicitation for-the purpose of prostitution; Harcourt told the Commons justice committee. .

The. Supreme Court of Canada’s recent ruling . that municipalities: cannot regulate prostitution removed any - uncertainty about the urgent. need for federal action, Harcourt said...

The. court's rialing that a “Calgary bylaw: was ‘ian.

-! ‘egnstitutlonal forced Vancouver to revoke. a similar year- ; ; old bylaw that ‘proved to be a cumbersome administrative : nightmare, he. i ; ' Harcourt ‘waiits the code amended 80 that both. men and : women can be considered prostitutes. Both the buying and

selling of sexpal services on city streets, or cars parked on

. those stréets, should be made offences, he sald.

“The law. should apply to any person, male or female,

". customer: or prostitute, involved i in the solicitation of sexual

services ‘dh city. Streets. ” ‘Harcourt ; ‘was also speaking on behalf. af the mayors s of . « Vietoria, Halifax, Edmonton ‘and: Niagara Falls, Ont.

’ Harcourt said residents of aa 5 west.end — a

dre! chn: ddhing foitat “They see it. as the only alternative to" ‘selling their - property or. surrendering their leases and leaving. the west vend, "he said. * ;

Harcourt fears that if residents sell their condominiums * and move to other parts of the city, the west end will be: taken over by prostitutes, pimps and other “low rollers.”

’ Restoring the community to. a healthy, safe and’ stable

place to live would be difficult, he said,

Residents in ‘the district have ‘long complained’ thal” prostitutes of all ages and sexual preferences, ‘pimps, and

"so-called hooker-lookers" block tra ffic on their streets and

harass, ‘intimidate - ‘and ptoposition. ‘women who. live’ and - work in the area, Police have tried to control street prostitution through |

Jocal traffic bylaws and Criminal-Code charges of assaull

and creating a disturbance, but found all approaches _

"Residents are reluctant to come forward to identify their ~ assailants or harassers because they are terrorized on the

i _ streets before and after courl procedures, he said,

Haréourt urged the committee not to consider removing ‘prostitution-related offences ‘frani* the Criminal Code or attempting to delegate authority to municipalities lo license - prostitutes. *

. By. such action, Parliament would be saying. ‘it’s an OK.

career ‘path,” "Tike becoming a steel worker or secretary, he | said,:

Parliament would ‘also be telling municipalities. swe! ve _ ducked our responsibility’’ and thrown. it back: to local ” politicians to create red- ‘light zones or community-care bawdy houges, he said: . ,

The Commons justice committee has been grappling for almost a year to find a solution to street prostitution which

. police say is impossible to contral, particularly because of

recent court decisions. _ Prostitution in itself is not an offence under the Criminal,

, Code, although related activities Such as soliciting and

keeping a common ‘bawdy house are.’
