Thank you for the question.
Essentially, what we're looking at with this change is to ensure that individuals who have a fear of persecution or risk are channelled appropriately and go to the IRB. There may be cases, as has been pointed out, when people decide, before they have a hearing at the IRB, that they should likely have requested humanitarian and compassionate consideration. That is not foreseen in the act at this time. However, if an amendment were moved, the government would have to consider that and determine whether it was acceptable in the context of the broader reform package.
