Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Mr. Showler, in your presentation, you refer to this provision designed to exclude the factors used to establish refugee status in humanitarian applications. I suppose you are referring more particularly to the new subsection 25.1(3).
I had the opportunity to question officials about this measure and I did not get a satisfactory answer. You explained to us that you didn't understand its utility. I don't know whether one of our other two videoconference guests or you, Mr. Showler—even though you don't support this provision—could tell me what's the reason behind it? Why does the government want to include this subsection, the purpose of which is to rule out the factors used to establish refugee status in humanitarian applications?
I have to ask you the question because the officials did not really answer it.
