How extensive is the extradition of Canadians to foreign countries?
There are about 100 a year and about 1,500 since the law was revised in 1999 as a much-needed replacement of antiquated 1877 legislation. According to Botting, only five extradition requests have been rejected since 1999.
The fundamental issue critics have of the law is that it replaced a process akin to a criminal preliminary hearing, where the person “sought” could present evidence and have it weighed fairly, with a process that significantly lowered the threshold for countries seeking to extradite Canadians from Canada. In other words, the evidence offered by a foreign country no longer needed to meet Canadian standards.
