I think the due process question is an important one. I would say it has been central to the way we have approached sanctions in our own existing legislation to date. I think you have probably heard from some witnesses who have spoken already about the United Nations process and the role of the UN ombudsperson in the sanctions delisting process in the case of the United Nations Security Council sanctions.
I think we have established means by which individuals who are on the list or on a list under the Special Economic Measures Act, for example, can apply to be removed from the list. They may have grounds for doing so. They may argue, for example, that they don't belong to one of the categories that the list was established for.
Maybe I'll give you an example. In the case of the SEMA regulations for Iran, the category of persons who are listed include persons engaged in “proliferation-sensitive nuclear activities, or to Iran’s activities related to the development of chemical, biological or nuclear weapons”, etc.
Certainly, there is the possibility in Canadian law that individuals who believe they are not properly on the list would apply. If the individuals are not satisfied with the reply they get or the decision of the minister on that application, they can always potentially seek a judicial review as well.
The due process elements are important. In any efforts to establish legislation along these lines, it's very important that it contain those due process elements as well.
