Thank you very much, Mr. Oliphant. I really have tremendous respect for some of the work you've done in foreign affairs and otherwise. I guess I would start by saying that, if you want to put some more meat on the bones, as it were, with respect to the definition, I would love to sit down and talk to you. It was purposely left wide, I grant you that, to give the government some flexibility with respect to defining it.
I don't know if you'll ever get to a perfectly prescriptive definition of where you could list this person, this crime, that crime and this crime. Ultimately, as you would know, Mr. Oliphant, because you have a tremendous track record of working around the world with various organizations, every situation might be a little bit different. Every regime is different. You couldn't just categorize a certain crime as “prisoner of conscience” and this one not. I don't know whether you'd ever get it to be that prescriptive.
I'm happy to sit down and discuss it. If you want to help define it more, I am more than happy to have that discussion with you.
