I think that's a very good description. I don't think there is any proof, as has been mentioned, that these measures are necessary for air travel security. By accepting this legislation, Canada is saying we can't guarantee as a state that we can ensure the safety of our aircraft. We have to grant a foreign power the right to decide which people can board the planes. There's no historical proof that Canada has not been able to ensure the safety of its aircraft and has not assumed this role responsibly. So there's no justification.
It's not just a question of American sovereignty; it's a question of Canadian sovereignty. The sovereignty of the United States to ensure security does not extend to its capability of violating the rights of citizens of other countries. It's an international right to be able to leave your country and return to it, so this right cannot be violated with impunity by the United States, and we cannot accept that.
