I don't know why we necessarily get wrapped up in these discussions, although these are important discussions and the committee will have important things to say, as do citizens and my colleague, Mr. Greene, of the Canadian Bar Association.
In answer to your first question, it is not too much to expect an individual who immigrates to Canada to respect the law. Frankly, it is not too much to expect Canadian-born individuals, such as me, to respect the law. We expect people to respect the law, and that is why we have a criminal justice system. People who break the law face consequences. Individuals who have chosen not to get Canadian citizenship or have not been here long enough to obtain Canadian citizenship will have other consequences befall them.
Every individual, as every lawyer knows and every judge knows, is presumed to know the law. If you are presumed to know the law, then you'd better be on the right side of it or otherwise face the consequences.
