Industry committee  Hi. Thank you very much for that question. I think it's a very important one. One of the things that Catherine and I have both emphasized—and it goes back to a remark that was just made about a lack of legal frameworks—is that there actually are some legal frameworks that exist at the international level, particularly international humanitarian law, which puts limits on different means and methods of warfare, including ones that have already been created, ones that are emerging and ones that will be created in the future.

Industry committee  Good afternoon, everyone. Thank you for the invitation to appear before you. Catherine and I will be focusing solely on part 3 of Bill C-27. We are representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross and the Canadian Red Cross. Our organizations work to minimize the suffering of victims of armed conflict, and we work with governments to ensure respect for the laws that regulate armed conflict.
