Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I also want to thank the minister for joining us today. The comments are most interesting.
The bill had been considered by the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights in the past. However, the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security is studying it as well, and we can benefit from that and from your comments.
I would like to briefly discuss the prohibition to leave or attempt to leave Canada to commit terrorism offences. As you mentioned in your opening remarks, clauses 6 to 8 of Bill S-7 would add four new offences to the Criminal Code. From now on, it would be prohibited to leave or attempt to leave Canada to participate in the activity of a terrorist group, facilitate terrorist activity, commit an offence for a terrorist group or commit an offence that constitutes terrorist activity.
Given that there are currently no exit interviews for individuals who leave Canada, how will law enforcement officers be able to determine that a person is leaving or attempting to leave Canada in order to commit acts of terrorism?
