Stephen Woodworth at the Justice and Human Rights Committee

I object to the characterization of Mr. Jean's comments as unreasoned or not well placed. Up to this point in time, the Canadian government, through section 83.01 of the Criminal Code, has provided a definition of a listed entity. To introduce a term such as “terrorist group”.... Of course, every one of us here knows what a terrorist group is, but I can tell you that once you get into court, without a definition of “terrorist group”, it can indeed be problematic.

I see nothing wrong with the approach of Canada, up to this point, in providing a list.

Thank you.
