I just want to set the record straight. The IRB chair was here last week and he did mention that the minister did not have the authority to select the IRB division. It was the IRB chair himself, together with the civil service, who will select these people.
The IRB also has discretion to adjourn the interview if the claimant appears vulnerable or traumatized.
I want to address a question to Ms. Taylor.
Are you aware of the fact that in England they have a list of designated countries? However, women from Ghana are designated as a sub-population that can qualify as refugees, but men cannot. Do you think that provision would address your concern?
