If I may, it is helpful to note that many countries in Europe and elsewhere have resorted to the criminal law process in their domestic jurisdictions with far greater frequency than Canada has. That doesn't mean that those countries don't adopt immigration procedures from time to time as well, but that there is far greater evidence, for example, in France, of successful prosecution in an anti-terrorism context than there has been here. Even in the United States the so-called millennium bomber received an ordinary criminal trial with evidence that was held up to ordinary due process.
