Again, I'm trying to clarify this point for myself
In the Criminal Code at the moment it is an offence to leave Canada to commit a terrorist offence, but I guess the burden of proof, or the standard of proof, is a little higher than under the new offence that is being created, because the new offence doesn't say you necessarily are going to commit an offence imminently; it simply says you're going to train. That's really the value of this new offence: the burden of proof is not as high, and, as you say, it allows you to keep track of individuals who otherwise might get lost overseas and you wouldn't know where they are.
Is that a correct interpretation of this?
