*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)
