Number 7, correct.
Mr. Chairman, it states here that clause 5 be amended by adding the following after line 35 on page 6: “If a court of competent jurisdiction”—and again, we are vesting jurisdiction in the courts by reason of this legislation—“has determined that a foreign state that is set out on the list referred to in subsection (2) has supported terrorism...”. And that refers to the list as drawn up by the government.
I might just say, parenthetically, to the query from the parliamentary secretary that I don't impute to the government any sense of arbitrariness in the setting of that list. I'm worried about the consequences of that list--namely, the consequences that would limit the civil remedy. I don't question the government's good faith; I question only the effectiveness. That has been the purport of all my amendments here.
To continue, it said, “that foreign state is not immune from the jurisdiction of a court in any proceedings against it that relate to terrorist activity by the state, as defined in subsection 83.01(1) of the Criminal Code, on or after January 1, 1985.”
I think it speaks for itself.
