Canada’s high extradition rate spurs calls for reform
“[T]here are cases where I think Canadians would be very troubled to learn that the government put so many resources, and the time of so many expensive lawyers, into extradition cases that should have never gone forward in the first place… Diab’s case clearly demonstrates that the Canadian extradition system is “broken” and in need of review.” (Robert Currie, Professor of Law, Dalhousie University)
