Mr. Chairman, if my memory serves me, the motion tabled on December 12 stated that we were to be questioned on the qualifications of appointees by order in council to the IRB.
I understand that we are all citizens and that we all have an opinion on a subject we hold dear, but I believe that, at this point, if you wish to talk about the lack of board members or about the Refugee Appeal Division, you are in a better position, as parliamentarians, to pass legislation and regulations. This is my personal opinion on this matter.
If you want to implement the Refugee Appeal Division, it is within your power to do so. A member does not have the authority to suggest that you take one road over another. You were elected by the constituents in your respective ridings, and I believe that it is your responsibility to take one road over another, particularly with regard to the Refugee Appeal Division.
