Perhaps I can explain a little bit more of the context of the Immigration Appeal Division in the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act. There are multiple clauses in that piece of legislation, and a number of provisions in the immigration and refugee protection regulations spell out the role of the IAD, what their responsibilities are, how they handle cases, in what context their decisions are made, who are called as witnesses, etc. Those provisions are quite lengthy and quite expressive about the context of those decisions.
This provision as a stand-alone leaves unclear whether they would have the jurisdiction to pick up these cases and actually proceed with them in the same way they would under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and regulations.
