I would direct your attention to section 14, subsections (2) and (3). Subsection 14(2) deals with the fact that the minister may enter into reciprocal arrangements with foreign governments, and subsection 14(3) allows for admission of witnesses of that jurisdiction to the program.
It anticipates that the foreign jurisdiction would then agree to consider applications for similar witnesses from us, so it opens the door for us to send witnesses abroad to be protected by them in appropriate circumstances.
That requirement was specifically changed in subsection 14(3) by an amendment in 1996 with regard to the International Criminal Court's tribunals, to avoid our having to have this, because they have no capacity to accept witnesses for that purpose. Iif we accept your witness from a foreign country, except for an international criminal court or tribunal, we will expect you to consider accepting our witnesses in future.
