Thank you very much for the question.
I should say also that any questions addressed to me, if it's okay with the members, will also be addressed by my colleagues who are here today. Maybe I'll make a first point, then, and see if they would like to add.
If I understood correctly, the question was about what exactly would be the amendment we're seeking. There are different opinions as to the exact wording, and I think that is something we would be following up with you to discuss, but the essential request today is that we provide an exemption to Canada's State Immunity Act for the commission of torture, and hopefully for other atrocities, such as war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide as well. It would be quite similar to the wording that already exists in the act for commercial activity and for criminal activities committed in Canada.
We've provided one example of wording that was developed by the University of Toronto legal clinic. It goes through the act and makes potential wording clear. We would be happy to have discussions following that up and drawing on our group of experts to take a look again at whether that exact formulation is correct, or whether there's something else that would be appropriate.
