To reiterate, we think this does address a gap. We have turned our minds to the issues and the different scenarios that might apply, and there are safeguards in place in the offence and at common law, so that in the remote off chance that somebody does try to use it in an inappropriate way, the courts do have the tools to ensure that an accused in that situation is acquitted. The case that I provided to the committee, the 2010 R. v. Sargent decision from the Provincial Court of Alberta, provides an example in which an entrapment defence did not work, but it did work in the R. v. Bayat 2010 decision of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice.
