We certainly did take a look at it. Again, the convention doesn't require us to put investment, per se, into a criminal offence, which would have been very difficult.
The way it's crafted now, there are 120 years of case law concerning what constitutes aiding and abetting and counselling and so on, and what degree of remoteness can associate criminal liability under the charter and so forth. By invoking that, we already have a self-regulating framework, if I could say, under the criminal law to accomplish that objective.
At some point, if I buy a company—I didn't have time to go into this before—and move my Canadian cluster munitions factory offshore, and I go to a company in another country and say, “I will invest heavily in your company if you build a factory and make cluster munitions”, then, if I'm participating in the activity from within Canada, I'm probably committing the offence of “making”, because I'm in Canada.
If not, if I make an investment on the condition that they make cluster munitions, I would be abetting.
If I make it much easier for them to make cluster munitions, I would be aiding.
If I urge them to do it, I would be counselling.
As I said, there are Supreme Court cases where the line is drawn between that and the scenario where a mutual fund has a few shares in a company that may suddenly engage in cluster munitions activities. We're talking about parts and components of cluster munitions. The word “investment” could become extremely remote. It was regarded as preferable to use the law of aiding and abetting, which we already know will work.
