Yes, although I do go back to what I started with. I very much mean this and I've written this, not only for domestic but for international audiences. I think Parliament was ahead of the foreign terrorist fighter curve when they enacted the four new terrorism offences in 2013.
I support those offences and the best way to deal with the foreign terrorist problem....Sure, prevention would be great, but there needs to be denunciation and incapacitation.
I know this is not the intent of the government, but my concern is that one of the unintended consequences of this bill may make prosecutions, under those very new valuable offences, more difficult rather than less difficult.
Obviously, not all the information is out about what happened at Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, but we have to ask ourselves the question, why was there enough intelligence to take away that person's passport, but not enough to charge him under one of the many terrorism offences that we have in our Criminal Code?
