Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.
I'd first like to say it is probably quite extraordinary for people who are subject to security certificates or their equivalent in other countries to have an opportunity to have a say in a government committee on how the government may be changing legislation. I think that's a real testament to the Canadian system.
We've heard from Mr. Ménard that the security certificate regime process has been described as a three-walled prison, and that those who are subject to security certificates have the opportunity to leave the country if they so choose.
Maybe, Mr. Harkat, we didn't hear from you. We did hear a little bit from Mr. Charkaoui on why you don't take that option.
