Mr. Speaker, I would direct the government member to page 3, subclause 5(1) which clearly states:
A transfer may not have the effect of increasing a sentence imposed by a foreign entity or of invalidating a guilty verdict rendered, or a sentence imposed....
Let me turn to page 13, subclause 30(1), which states:
A Canadian offender shall benefit from any compassionate measures--including a cancellation of their conviction or shortening of their sentence--taken by a foreign entity after the transfer.
This a direct contradiction in the bill. I do not see how we will get out of this one. I think that when foreign governments look at subclause 30(1) they will say that they will not participate because the bill is inconsistent.
