Mr. Gerry Liston:

If it is "prevent" as meant by the International Court of Justice, then that is essentially what we are saying. There is certain language used at the international level and certain language that is used at the domestic level in legislation to create a ban. The way it is done is that there cannot be an ambiguous ban in legislation. There has to be certainty in the language, particularly where criminal offences are being created. This is one of the issues that the Attorney General has flagged. We would expect the provisions in the Bill would reflect the standard language in legislation to prohibit certain activity.
