Thank you for that.
I would like to talk a bit about how we could improve this bill. We know that it outlines sanctions against those who engage in arbitrary detention. How would this be operationalized for cases where the Canadian government has been unable to or, as we've seen in Syria, unwilling to take action on behalf of Canadian citizens in a timely manner?
What additional measures do you recommend be added to this bill to ensure that Canada has a more robust, consistent approach to supporting individuals in these complex cases? MP Lantsman said very clearly there was a lot of ministerial discretion within this bill. What are some of the things we could do to ensure that it is actually robust and consistent?
