Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all for your time and your presentations. My question goes to Ms. Dench.
Ms. Dench, in a September 2005 submission to the Human Rights Committee of the United Nations, your organization said, in reference to the Immigration and Refugee Board, and I quote:
Its independence and competence has historically been undermined by practices of political patronage appointments. These concerns persist, despite some reforms introduced through the appointment process in 2004.
Can you please expand upon these concerns about political patronage following the 2004 response?
