Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to carry on talking about the international implications.
One of the government's concerns about the bill is that creating the offence of private torture could seriously weaken Canada's contribution to the global effort to prevent torture under the convention against torture. This seems to derive from the creation under this act of two categories of torture: state actors and private actors. Would you like to comment on that? Also, why do we have two kinds of torture in this act? Why can't we just encapsulate them into one category?
