I proposed section 269.2 as an amendment because there could be concerns around Canada's international legal obligations. If you were to merge the two, perhaps it could create some issues, although France has done that and there doesn't appear to be a problem.
It's up to the committee to consider. This is my humble suggestion. This is an amendment I've put forward in good faith; it comes from a good place. If it's the view of the committee to look at section 269.1 and provide a generalized definition, then it would match with what exists in France and in the state of Queensland. Granted, it is a state, but it does have international obligations as well, and there's obviously a precedent there. I don't think Canada would be condemning itself in any way, but that is my humble view, and again, you're free to debate it.
I'm trying to be as careful as possible in dealing with the concern around international legal obligations.
