One of the key questions facing the committee, given what you've heard from witnesses today and what you'll be hearing in the next few months, is whether it makes sense to take the provision out altogether, or, if a decision is made, to find a way to mould the provision in a way that ensures compliance with our international obligations. It ought not to allow people to do through the back door, so to speak, what they can't do through the front door. Then we need to look at carefully tailoring and amending that provision so that it achieves its intended purpose without leading to unintended consequences.
