While I think I'm correct in what I've said in my report to you regarding embassies as Canadian territory, it might be instructive or helpful to the committee to hear from persons in the Department of Foreign Affairs, who are obviously quite expert in the matter of embassies. Or, if you want to stay with the Department of Foreign Affairs, there might be professors of law who study international law and who can speak more thoroughly on that question. I have given you the basic principles here.
