I would add that when I was referring to the review of Canada's record by the United Nations Convention against Torture and they essentially said that Canada was in breach of its obligations, it was essentially because of the interpretation of the State Immunity Act that was given in the Bouzari case at the Ontario Court of Appeal. In that decision, the Ontario Court of Appeal said that because the State Immunity Act exists and protects governments like Iran from civil suits, this means that the torture had to have been committed in Canada in order for someone to receive a remedy, which is clearly not the intention of the convention on torture. The UN committee then was making it clear that was not their intention in drafting the convention on torture. It was intended to provide a remedy regardless of where the torture was committed, and Canada's interpretation was far too restrictive.
It really highlighted that we need to have an amendment to the State Immunity Act to make clear that immunity should not be provided for officials who commit torture.
