Thank you, Mr. Chair.
This amendment is a change to revert to some of the language that exists in the current act. Currently what we have before us removes subsections 14(1.1) to 14(6), and replaces them with a new section. What my amendment does is ensure that those new clauses only replace subsections 14(1.1), 14(2), and 14(3), thus preserving subsections 14(4), 14(5), and 14(6) of the current act in order to provide access to judicial review.
If I still have time within my minute, I will refer to the testimony of Audrey Macklin from the Canadian Association of Refugee Lawyers, who reminds us that the short answer is that judicial review is a basic requirement of the rule of law. It is designed to ensure that public power is exercised within the boundaries set by the state.
