Thank you, Mr. Fortin.
I wouldn't say there are only four, but these are four that are, to me, critical if the system is going to work.
Number three is that if the requesting state, such as France, does not in fact reciprocate with Canada by extraditing requested citizens to Canada, Canada should not extradite its nationals to such a requesting state.
I give the example of the French priest—you may recall this case recently—wanted for multiple sexual assaults against young people in Canada years ago. France refused to participate in that process, saying, “Oh, that's too old.” That case was no older than Diab's case.
That's the third one, true reciprocity. Extradition is said to rely on comity, but there is no comity or reciprocity with France on extradition of nationals.
The last one, Mr. Fortin, is extradition only for a trial that is ready to proceed within a reasonable time, not for further investigation. We thought that was the law. We pointed that out to the court of appeal and the Supreme Court of Canada, and they still let this happen. Of course, three-plus years in solitary confinement resulted.
