They likely track responses based on ip addresses but it's hard to know. I think we should err on the side of caution and just submit once.

>>> I guess this is the opportunity for any of us to speak up, although I can’t help feeling cynical about the government’s intentions in terms of taking opposing views seriously. The ‘Discussion’ section is reasonably fact-based and objective, except for the last section outlining the 3 regulatory options, which gives favouritism to the Nordic approach and assumes clients and third parties are exploitive. In the Questions section, there is no separate option for decrim, and the questions are likely biased in favour of eliciting pro-criminalization responses.

>>> The Government of Canada today launched a public on-line consultation with Canadians to seek their views and input, to help inform the Government's response to the Supreme Court of Canada decision in Bedford v. Attorney General of Canada. On December 20, 2013, the Supreme Court of Canada found three Criminal Code prostitution-related offences unconstitutional.
>>>
>>> Quick Facts
>>>
>>> The Supreme Court of Canada suspended the effects of its decision for one year, to allow for the government to respond to the unconstitutionality of certain offences. Those offences relate to:
>>> Indoor prostitution (e.g., in a house/apartment, massage parlour or strip club);
>>> Providing services to prostitutes (e.g., as a bodyguard or driver); and,
>>> Communicating for the purposes of purchasing or selling sexual services in public places, e.g., in the street.
>>> - Canadians can access a web page on the Department of Justice's website to provide their input.
>>>
>>> - The on-line consultation will be live from February 17 to March 17, 2014 and all Canadians are invited to provide their thoughts and views on the issue.
>>>
>>> Quotes
>>>
>>> "Our Government is concerned about the significant harms that flow from prostitution to communities, those engaged in prostitution and other vulnerable persons. Doing nothing is not an option - we are therefore asking Canadians right across the country, to provide their input, through an on-line consultation, to ensure a legislative response to prostitution that reflects our country's values. We will be taking action to maintain the safety of our streets and communities, for the benefit of all Canadians."
