Mr. Chair, Ms. Faille is alluding to the list of countries for which there is a temporary stay of removals. In fact, that list is prepared by the Department of Public Safety and not the Department of Citizenship and Immigration. There are currently eight countries on the list. Certain criteria have to be met in order to be on the list. The countries on it are countries where there is a generalized risk of violence everywhere in the country. The United States is not on that list.
