I think as the minister said when he appeared on Thursday, the intention is certainly not to leave this prospect of individuals losing permanent resident status if their country conditions change over time.
The minister also said he was open to constructive input around potential amendments to clarify that provision, because certainly, it's not the intent that individuals would be punished due to circumstances that are beyond their control.
What Clause 19 is really about is ensuring that those individuals who, after receiving protected person status and/or permanent resident status in Canada, then return of their own volition to their country of alleged persecution are responsible, themselves, for essentially spurning the protection status that Canada has provided them.
That's the intention of clause 19. It's certainly not to be a punishment for individuals who, after having been in Canada for a number of years, see the conditions in their country of origin change to a point where they can travel back freely, as Canadian permanent residents or citizens.
Certainly there is an openness to look at clarifying that clause.
