The other thing I'm a little curious about is that you have cited several examples of instances where Canadians have experienced non-state torture, where they've been charged under our existing Criminal Code.
If your legislation had been in place, what difference would it have made in the sentencing, in your opinion? Would it have made a difference? Would the sentencing have been the same or would it have changed things? I don't see in your bill anywhere you're suggesting any minimums, but in fact at the moment you're suggesting a maximum life sentence. You have already identified that you're willing to consider that term as well.
In your opinion, what difference would it have made in the cases you cited?
