Given that I was proposing some specific changes or suggestions for specific changes, let me take the first crack at it.
I was talking about two separate things. The first relates to SEMA and your existing authorities that you have there, which are either engaging through the UN, when the UN puts the sanctions, or engaging with this much higher threshold of language, such as “imminent threat” or “major conflict”, etc.
When it comes to defining the four sets of “mass atrocity” crimes, as I said, I chose them intentionally on the basis of the fact that there is an international consensus on the responsibility to protect. Canada actually played a leading role in advocating for its adoption in 2005. These are all crimes that are defined in our international law in a broad range of respects. There's a consensus view on what they are and how to define them.
My view is that adding to the possibility—again, the authority—for Canada to be able to sanction governments that are engaging in imminent or actual mass atrocity crimes is to me a pretty high threshold for acting. It's not something for which you could say willy-nilly that it is this government, that government, and many other governments. It's a very narrow set of governments in the world.
