I appreciate the question.
Look, the use of monetary incentives by law enforcement agencies in western countries is not a new thing. It's an idea used widely by municipal, provincial and federal law enforcement agencies to help solve and prevent crimes all the time. It's the idea of Crime Stoppers. We use it domestically already.
There is a 40-year history in the U.S. with the rewards for justice program. Now, that's much wider than just hostages; this legislation only tackles one of the pieces in the rewards for justice program, which was an act brought in in 1984. It has saved countless lives through its incentives. Again, all of that discretionary prerogative is intended for the minister to use if they want to use it.
I think there are things you can put in place to make sure it's used, in terms of whether cases are looked at, what level they are looked at and whether they are reported to a committee like this one, or Parliament, if a proceeding was to be rewarded.
I think there are lots of examples in the U.S. and in our domestic law enforcement.
