That issue has come up a number of times. It's an important issue. When a Canadian has been convicted abroad and, under the International Transfer of Offenders Act, is transferred back to Canada under sentence, then of course we know about the offence. It would be fairly straightforward, I think, to consider a model that could include those people. Obviously, it wouldn't be happening at the time of sentencing. It would have to be a special application, but there the facts are known.
The more challenging situation is one where a Canadian has committed a sex offence abroad, completes the sentence there, and perhaps remains in that country or may travel to other countries. A significant period of time, many years, may pass, and then they may return to Canada. It's a very practical question of having the information. It's then a question of a police sharing of information. I don't think you would find many people who would quarrel in principle with the idea that they should be in a position comparable to that of a person who'd committed that offence in Canada. The question becomes how you get that information, particularly where years may have passed.
