I guess you can catch the theme that's going around the table: why does it take so long to do something that's so fundamental to the belief structure of Canada? Of course, you've provided information to that. It strikes me as very ironic as well that Canada shepherded this particular agreement through the United Nations and voted to adopt it, and now 34 nations have signed on ahead of us. It just doesn't seem right, I'm sure, to an average person who might hear what's going on in this place.
You mentioned privacy of information. It strikes me that in the case of a person who's a prisoner, their crime and conviction is a matter of public record, so I'm wondering why there would be that concern, or whether I'm reading it wrong.
