Yes, although prostitution is technically "legal" in Canada, three key provisions of the law made virtually every activity associated with it illegal:

1) Communicating for the purpose of prostitution (in public).
2) Living off the avails.
3) Keeping a common bawdy house (brothel).

This ruling strikes down these three key provisions, and basically gives prostitution a full "legal" footing.
