Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to thank our two witnesses, Mr. Doobay and Ms. St‑Laurent, for joining us today.
Ms. St‑Laurent, I understand that you're a lawyer and that you're appearing today because you've probably had some experience with the application of the Extradition Act.
In your brief introductory remarks, you said that a Canadian citizen convicted of a crime that was committed abroad should be able to plead guilty in Canada if they so wish. You also mentioned a problem with unsworn statements.
Could you elaborate, and could you tell me whether this applies to one or more of the cases you've handled as a lawyer?
