Mr. Chair, I explained earlier the scenario of two workers from different countries and with varying backgrounds being offered the same job. If there was any evidence that would suggest there was risk in performing a certain job in a certain situation, given the individual circumstances, an officer might, even with instructions, decide to issue a permit to someone because the individual did have the language skills and the resources to be able to manage as opposed to refusing an applicant who might not have those personal attributes to allow them to avoid being placed in a situation of abuse.
