Local authorities have launched a campaign reminding people that buying sex is against the law. 

According to CTV News, the Montreal police and the RCMP are both working to crack down on prostitution and sexual tourism in light of the Montreal Grand Prix. 

The RCMP's Camille Habel says that engaging in buying such services contributes to Canada's problem with sexual exploitation. 

Amended two years ago, Canadian criminal laws state that people who buy sex can face prosecution. 

In response, anti-prostitution protesters plan to protest downtown during the Grand Prix.
