Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Ms. Deif, the conclusion I'm drawing from some of the back and forth about the section on prisoners of conscience is that it's not good enough for the government to say, “Just trust us”. There should be some mechanisms of pressure and accountability around the listing of those individuals—accountability to parliamentarians, to civil society and to the wider public.
At the same time there does need to be some margin for flexibility. There may be legitimate cases where, based on the wishes of the person involved—their family, their advocates and their own assessment of their interests—publication of their name doesn't make sense.
What we have to do in the amending process is come up with some procedure that does involve pressure on the government, that does involve the publication of names, in many cases bringing more sunlight to this and more accountability, but also some measure of flexibility.
Would you agree with that assessment? Do you think it would be useful to publish some names, while having others anonymized, based on the wishes of the families or a sincere calculation of the interests of the people involved?
