It's open to interpretation and purposely vague. I am Canadian so I've followed this story for years. Some have suggested that it means any adult pay site created by a Canadian would be illegal regardless if it is for prostitution. Adult webmasters sell sex. What is "own sexual services"? It depends on how cautious you are.
The Canadian PM was forced to come up with a new bill because the Supreme Court threw out the old one. Being a Conservative, there was no way PM Harper would legalize the buying and selling of sex. It's almost certain that this law too will be thrown out. This section disallowing escorts to advertise on the web actually makes their work more dangerous. It's new to this law. The previous bill was ruled unconstitutional because it made sex work dangerous. Now, not allowing them to advertise in cyberspace only makes it more so. The Government knows this and is only doing this to bat the issue into the future. They are "playing to their base" as it might be said and they certainly are.
