Mr. Chair, there are two prongs to the response.
First of all, with respect to terrorism, there are really four places that are relevant for our consideration in which terrorism is defined. It's defined in section 2 and section 83.01 of the Criminal Code. There are largely parallel definitions of terrorism and terrorist activity in the National Defence Act. Section 2 of the National Defence Act essentially adopts the language by reference to the Criminal Code. To make a long story short, the Criminal Code definitions of terrorism are adopted in the National Defence Act, although there are specific provisions.
With respect to treason, that's an offence under the Criminal Code. It would be triable within the military justice system under section 130 of the National Defence Act, which provides service tribunals with jurisdiction to try any offence created by an act of Parliament. A service tribunal, for example, a court martial, can try the most serious offences. It can try the specific offences that are created by Parliament in the National Defence Act itself, which tend to be particularly military-type offences like mutiny, insubordination, disobedience of lawful command, as well as any Criminal Code offence. In the hypothetical context where a Canadian citizen was charged with the offence of treason, that could be triable by court martial. It would be charged under section 130 of the National Defence Act as the offence of treason under section 46 or 47 of the Criminal Code.
