I understand the committee has already heard from officials at the last meeting on this subject.
“Act of war” is a term we do not see very commonly in Canadian statutes. It seems we have moved to be more speaking about hostilities or armed conflict. Canada hasn't declared war against a country for decades. It's a term that's fallen out of favour, I would say. As a result, we have ambiguity.
It's worthwhile for the committee to think about whether there would be something more precise. Then everyone would know what the law is on the subject.
