Thanks, Mr. Chair.
I don't profess to be an international law expert either, but I'll do my best.
What I would like to do is offer a friendly amendment. The amendment goes as follows in new subclause 6(2):
This Act is intended to ensure consistency with Canada's rights and obligations under international law. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Act and the provisions of any international law
--I would say “law” rather than “convention”, because sometimes they're treaties and sometimes they're another instrument--
in force in Canada.
The rest would remain the same.
It's my understanding--
