When it comes to the point about what is arbitrary detention, I'll say in response that the definition this bill uses for “arbitrary detention in state-to-state relations” is drawn word for word from the multilateral declaration. Likewise, the definition of “hostage taking” is drawn from the Criminal Code.
This bill is not meant to capture arbitrary detention. This bill is meant to capture hostage-taking and arbitrary detention in state-to-state relations, which is a different term.
You're right. It wouldn't cover everything. It is quite narrowly focused in that way.
