Absolutely. You're speaking my language.
I can tell you that my colleagues in the office of the judge advocate general are experts in national and international humanitarian law and are working every day to craft policies to ensure that Canada's procurement of any new means and methods of warfare comports with domestic and international law.
Nobody in the world has a real solution to what happens when we separate in time and space the human decision-maker from lethal decision-making. It's an ongoing project that, at a certain point, actually jumps from law to policy. At a certain point, a government that is willing to use lethal autonomous weapons systems will have to be comfortable with a certain amount of risk and perhaps a certain amount of messiness.
These are more like policy than legal decisions and where a nation's comfort lies when we really enter uncharted territory.
