The bill itself has transitional provisions towards the back of it. Those provisions capture how the current cases would be treated under the new legislation, if new certificates are issued against individuals currently subject to a certificate. Obviously if a person is detained, they would need to have a new detention review and a special advocate would have to participate there, and new reasonableness hearings before the Federal Court would occur and a special advocate would have to be there. There are other details that are contained in the transitional provisions that are essentially there to provide an orderly transition between the existing process and the new, and to also give the individuals the benefits that were ordered by the Supreme Court in the Charkaoui decision.
