First, I commend you for doing your homework on what is a very esoteric part of immigration law, Mr. Oliphant.
In short form, the protection that we introduced last week will waive the usual one-year period that a failed asylum claimant from Hong Kong would have to wait until filing an application for a pre-removal risk assessment. In practical terms, what this means is that without having to wait that period, if they are a failed asylum claimant, they may have another chance to stay in Canada as a result of the assessment.
