Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Good morning, everybody, and thank you for coming here today.
I understand from your remarks that there are some challenges and there would be some challenges if we were to implement the appeal division. I'm sure there are challenges in maintaining our refugee and IRB system as is right now. I'm not trying to dismiss or refuse to acknowledge that there would be some challenges in implementing the appeal division.
But having said that, at the time we reduced the IRB panel from two judges to one judge, wasn't the intent that it be a compromise, to reduce the panel and make it more efficient, but in exchange for an appeal division that IRB would implement?
