Mr. Chair, I just have a comment.
Sometimes what's happened in the discussion of this section is that we've gone back to underlining discussion points that have already been agreed on by all of the committee. There is broad agreement that the original text of the bill required amendment because there needed to be legitimate redaction powers. The redaction powers proposed in the subamendment are extremely broad. They apply to all parts of proposed paragraph 10(4)(b), not just the names, but also the circumstances, the countries, the detaining authorities and so forth. The government can choose to redact any of that information based on its own assessment of what is in the best interests of human rights.
The requirement is for the government to prepare this information and to publish information where they think the publication of such information is not contrary to the best interests of human rights. I hope members understand how deep and broad that opportunity is. One can't, I presume, argue against the subamendment or the amendment on the basis that some of the information published might cause other problems because the government has broad latitude to redact that information in any case where it thinks there's a problem—not just the names, but also circumstances, information about the detaining authorities, and so forth. The government has to publish a report, and it has to make an assessment about whether information should be published or not. It can redact the information it thinks shouldn't be public.
Again, I think this is a very reasonable compromise. It's more than a compromise; I think it's the right thing to do. We don't want to see information published that shouldn't be published either. However, we think that having this report, having the obligation to prepare that list and make these determinations, is in the public interest.
Thanks.
