There's one part of the bill that I didn't understand when I looked at it a while ago. Maybe you could tell me what it means.

Clause 2 of Bill S-7 proposes to amend subsection 7(2) of the Criminal Code, which describes acts or omissions committed in relation to aircraft, airport, and air navigation facilities, in circumstances where these acts take place outside of Canada. Why are wording changes to section 7(2) of the Criminal Code required?

Also, what does “...act or omission committed...” mean? What would an act or omission be in relation to aircraft, airport, or air navigation facilities?
