extradition from Canada of persons who will face capital
punishment in the jurisdiction to which they are to be
returned). Particular attention is given to the issue of

Peltier as an example. (This is the debate which aroused a
glowing commentary by Hugh Winsor after the bill had been
entirely unreported in ”the eastern media” through all previous
stages.)
