Thank you so much again, Mr. Wrzesnewskyj, for your comments and your work on this.
I want to make sure that people watching this don't get the impression that just because we've been agreeing so far, this is going to be easy. It's February, the parliamentary session goes until June and there are details that are part of the discussion. The continuing engagement of people at home in the decisions we make about how to move forward are critical. Sometimes, even if there's facial agreement, there's still a lot of hard work, and people shouldn't be complacent even though they're seeing agreement. But it's good to see that agreement, and I think we have an opportunity, as you say, for parties to work together. Yes, February 2008 was a long time ago, and it was a longer time ago for me, as I was in school at that time. Hopefully, my kids won't be in high school before we get this done, right?
In the remaining time, Borys, you raised the issue—and I think it's a critical one—of injustice in an interconnected world. In a more globalized interconnected world, there are opportunities for exploitation and injustice. There are a lot of great opportunities that come from interconnectedness, but there are opportunities for injustice and exploitation.
I believe that's why we need to be willing to use more extraterritorial provisions. We did this in child sex tourism. When it came to light that people were going overseas and engaging in this horrific practice of child rape, essentially, we said that in an interconnected world we need new legal tools that respond to new forms of injustice. That means prosecuting people for terrible things that they do overseas, prosecuting even if they're not doing those things within our country.
This is an extension of that principle. An important issue for this committee to explore in general is countering injustice in a more interconnected world where people aren't just exploiting others at home, but might be involved in exploiting others overseas. That will require creative ways of thinking and new legal tools. We can't just be complacent and think that the tools of yesteryear have kept up with the current trends in terms of travel and technology. They haven't. That's why we need to be adaptable as well.
