That's not the position we're putting forward. The position we're putting forward here is that there be just one general offence of torture, where everything is called torture under one offence. As I recall, during the committee hearings last week, there was some suggestion that possibly one amendment that could be made was simply to get rid of the term “state official” in section 269.1. At least, that question was asked. It remained unclear to me whether or not that was something that was being considered.
