Following up on the good parts of this bill, of which I think there are several, and the difficult parts of this bill, would it be easier for us to write a new bill? Otherwise, in your mind, is this bill fixable with the understanding that we have common goals to uphold human rights in the world, to show Canada's defence of human rights in the world and to be practical help to human rights defenders? This is what we want to do.
My concern is that there are parts of this bill that could hinder that work as opposed to helping it, and I'm wondering whether we can fix it, how we would fix it and whether there are things we're not thinking about and are not in the bill that you have had on your wish list for government to do.
This is your chance to tell parliamentarians if there is something you think we're missing that would aid in that work, whether it's on transnational repression, human rights defenders or prisoners of conscience, should we go that limited way, or how we navigate a difficult world with some despotic regimes that don't share our values on human rights.
Are there measures you would recommend that we consider?
