I would just like to add that the Canadian government, as I'm sure you know, at any given time suspends removals to some countries through moratoria. We feel this is a very good idea. We think perhaps some countries should be added. Right now, we have Afghanistan, Burundi, Congo, Zimbabwe, and so on. Colombia seems like a country that is probably dangerous to return most people to, but the point is, at least from our perspective, that is a good thing, that although in any given country a person may face persecution depending on what they've done, their profile, and so on, there are countries where at times it seems to be generally too dangerous to return anyone safely, and that is a good feature of our immigration system.
