Thank you, Mr. Genuis.
I want to go back to our officials to get some clarity.
First, in terms of the merits and risks of publishing, I'd like to hear any kind of list of prisoners of conscience. I think that's an important consideration.
Second, when it becomes clear that the list will remain.... For example, why is government discretion on releasing information related to Canada's work on the release of detained human rights defenders or prisoners of conscience important? What are the consequences of not having this discretion?
Third, what is the consequence of a legislated requirement to disclose the full names and circumstances of Canada's work on the release of particular individuals?
