I think I'm quoting from your paper, although paraphrasing slightly, in stating that the recognizance and conditions power in Bill C-17is modest compared with its closest international analogies, and I think Mr. Copeland talked about a piece of legislation in Great Britain that he takes issue with because of its infringement on civil liberties. I imagine both of you will agree that in relation to other western democracies, Canada is not really out of line or going out on limb in Bill C-17, compared with the United States of America, Great Britain, and other western democracies. Is that a fair comment?
