As long as man remains creative and continues to express himself in artistic works, there is need to protect the products of his creation. The current crusade in favour of safeguarding the cultural heritage results from publicity given to the destruction of archaeological sites and antiquities, the smuggling of national art treasures, and the outcry against museums that have in their collections items that have been illegally exported. The crisis is clear. Unless the "cultural property-hungry" nations realize that controls against such illicit activities must be enforced stringently, the safety of mankind's cultural heritage is in doubt.

SommaireLes auteurs soutiennent que l'extradition d'un citoyen canadien qui a commis un acte criminel pour lequel il pourrait être poursuivi au Canada ne constitue pas une violation de l'article 6, premier alinéa de la Charte canadienne des Droits et Libertés, qui stipule que tout citoyen canadien a le droit de demeurer au Canada. Même si, à première vue, l'extradition devait violer ce droit, les auteurs estiment qu'en vertu de l'article 1 de la Charte, il peut être restreint par une règle de droit dans des limites raisonnables et dont la justification peut se démontrer dans le cadre d'une société libre et démocratique.

This article is devoted to the question of whether the extradition from Canada of a fugitive Canadian citizen charged with having committed an act that constitutes a criminal offence for which he or she may be prosecuted both in Canada and in the requesting state is a violation of his or her right as a citizen of Canada to remain in Canada, that is guaranteed by section 6( I ) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.' In analysing this question we shall ( i ) give a brief history of and rationale for extradition, with emphasis on the variations in application by states of extradition of citizens; (2) assess whether section 6 ( i ) of the Charter of Rights ipso facto does in fact contain a right that extradition infringes; (3) enquire whether if indeed extradition infringes prima facie the section 6 ( i ) right to remain in Canada of a Canadian citizen, it is a reasonable limit, prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society, even where he or she could be prosecuted in Canada on the same facts; (4) review the role of the Minister of Justice in extradition matters; (5) look at the comparative interests of states that have concurrent jurisdiction over the criminal offence and their impact on prosecutorial discretion in the requested state; and (6) discuss interpretation of extradition treaties.

The application of linked data by government has limited visibility due to complexities in publishing details of the analysis and interventions. The Victorian Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) acknowledges the value of linked data in the department's strategic plan, and linked data has been used in many policy reform and service design activities over the past three years.
IntroductionIn 2016 the Centre for Victorian Data Linkage (CVDL), located in DHHS, developed the Victorian Linkage Map (VLM) of 20 plus health and human services datasets linked with births and deaths data. The VLM has since been expanded to include education, justice and police data. DHHS has been an "early adopter" in applying linked data to policy development, service reforms and departmental operations to improve the health and wellbeing of the Victorian population.
Objectives and ApproachThe presentation will provide an overview of multi-sector data linkage in Victoria, and the value of frequent collaborations between CVDL and DHHS staff in applying linked data to priority projects and reforms. It will consider the challenges of cross-jurisdictional linkage in Australia, highlighting initiatives which are expanding linked datasets available to DHHS.
ResultsDHHS has undertaken a broad range of linked data projects which have provided an evidence base for departmental activities, including provision of hospital, housing, health surveillance and child protection services. Linked data has also been used to develop an integrated demand model, which forecasts impact of investment in one program area on other parts of the service system.
Conclusion / ImplicationsThe active use of linked data by DHHS provides a model for other government departments to improve service design and delivery to vulnerable populations. DHSS is expanding linked-data use to additional areas, and further imbedding in departmental operations.
