Thank you.
I took note of how you had a slight bit of disappointment that we weren't using the term in the Criminal Code. However, I think, given that the Security of Information Act is being amended in these ways and that there are some significant punishments—some of these are up to life imprisonment—perhaps there's an area of the bill where the committee can look at inserting the definition. We've noted that and I appreciate your testimony.
I wanted to save my last question for the World Sikh Organization.
Mr. Singh, with regard to your comments about amendments to the Criminal Code, you referenced the definition of “sabotage”, which specifically says:
endanger the safety or security of the naval, army or air forces of any state other than Canada that are lawfully present in Canada
If you read further down the bill, there is a section that says:
For greater certainty, no person commits an offence [if they are] participating in advocacy, protest or dissent but they do not intend to cause any of the harms referred to in [that paragraph].
Are you satisfied with that, or do you think this committee needs to establish guardrails that are better than what's already in the bill?
