I'd like to thank Mr. Hyer for this proposal. I think it's a good one.
As Mr. Saxton said, special advocates are currently only available under IRPA, the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act. I served in that capacity, appointed by the current government.
I think the second point made by Mr. Saxton was that this could be done at the discretion of a judge—we could have an amicus curiae appointed—which is also very true. But I think having the certainty of a special advocate in attendance, as required by law, as we do under the immigration law, would be a very wise thing to do in this circumstance.
I again commend Mr. Hyer for raising this.
