One of the pieces of evidence that I've reviewed in advance of your testimony is an excerpt of a committee hearing on extradition that you participated in in the U.K. House of Lords back in 2014. I appreciate it is some time ago, but I think one of the questions put to you still has application today. It was a question put to you by Lord Jones. I'm going to read out his question to you. and then I may modify the question I ask of you afterwards.
Lord Jones says:
In the Baker review, you wrote that extradition is a form of international co-operation in criminal matters based on comity intended to promote justice. Do you still subscribe to this view and, since you wrote that sentence, do you feel the Government have focused too much on achieving efficient international co-operation on extradition and focused too little on ensuring that the UK's extradition arrangements are just?
Applying it in a Canadian context, sir, how would you respond?
