Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for being here with us.
Mr. Doobay, I'll start with you.
Thank you for taking the time to meet with Canadian parliamentarians. We appreciate the opportunity to mine your brain and learn something about your experience in the EU.
You talked about some of the tensions in the EU, in the realm of extradition law. We're feeling some of those same tensions here. I read somewhere that you've argued cases that reveal the tension between a motive to seek justice and political motivation. I wonder whether you could comment on that. How do we distinguish between the two?
I'm thinking particularly of the Hassan Diab case. I don't know whether you're familiar with it, but it was a case wherein a Canadian national was extradited to France based on pretty skimpy evidence. We feel it was probably more politically motivated than motivated by justice.
What is your comment on that?
