Mr. Chevrier:
Mr. Speaker, I am glad the right hon. Leader of the Opposition raised that question. The statement was brought to my attention. Since the right hon. Leader of the Opposition has put something on the record, I would like to put on the record the telegram which I received from Mr. Perrault last night, which reads as follows. It is dated Vancouver, December 19:
Received your letter regarding Wasylenchuk dated December 12th and postmarked Ottawa December 16th today at 2.20 p.m. Pacific standard time. I appreciate your assurance that following my letter to you of December 5th, you took every step in accordance with my request to review the matter and that following our telephone conversation of December 16th, you felt compelled to follow the advice of your officials that the point raised by me specifically the effect of section 11 of the Parole Act and section 24 of the Extradition Act did not relieve you of your duty to execute the warrant.

The courts of the province of British Columbia dealt with this case on two occasions-

Mr. Chevrier:
I would have to look that up. I could not answer that offhand but I am convinced in my mind, after a reading of the two sections, that the treaty does apply under these circumstances for the reason I gave once before, namely that if that were not the case then a person on parole could leave the Canadian jurisdiction, go into the United States, commit a crime there, come back into Canada and, because he is on parole, would not be subject to extradition, and of course vice-versa, and I am sure that was not the intention of the two countries when they entered into the extradition treaty.
