If I understand correctly, the aspect you wanted to discuss was more technical. The exclusively silo-based approach concerns me greatly and my fear is that it will push people who, otherwise, might have applied on humanitarian and compassionate grounds, to ask for refugee status despite the fact that it is inappropriate.
I will give you another example. There is another provision in the bill that states that when an application on humanitarian and compassionate grounds is being studied, all of those elements that might otherwise fall within a refugee application for protection and asylum must be excluded. We understand the will of the department. It wants refugees to apply for refugee status and those persons who are not refugees to apply under humanitarian and compassionate grounds. At the same time, is there not a risk that under such a provision, where you have people whose situation overlaps the two and who might be able to apply on humanitarian and compassionate grounds, they could be pushed into the refugee stream? Could such a provision not lead to the exact opposite of the desired result?
