The federal government is asking Canadians for input on how to re-write the country’s prostitution laws.

The Supreme Court struck down laws against street soliciting, living on the avails of prostitution and keeping a brothel in a ruling late last year.

You can leave your comments on the Justice Canada website until March 17th.

Justice Minister Peter Mackay is promising a new law by the end of the year.
