Agreed, It is very easy to get carried away. Countries have the power to legislate on a so-called "extra-territorial" basis but of course must deal with the fact that such measures are in a practical sense unenforceable for the most part and also impinge on the sovereignty of other nations. It is better for them to look at more practical measures to achieve their goals to the extent possible. Both the Harper and House of Representatives Committees have in my view demonstrated a degree of common sense not always apparent in these types of enquiries.
