Very well.
I would now like to come back to our representatives from the Centre des femmes de Verdun. In Bill C-11, there is a provision prohibiting a person who originally applied for refugee status from withdrawing, at some point, this application and to instead apply under humanitarian and compassionate considerations. As soon as you have filed a claim for refugee status, it is final, and it is no longer possible to make an application under humanitarian and compassionate grounds. We are in a context in which the government is claiming that there are organized groups that use people and encourage them to come to Canada to file bogus refugee claims. Do you not however find it somewhat counterproductive to tell someone who has applied for refugee protection that it is not the proper route and that he or she should rather apply for admission for humanitarian and compassionate grounds? Is it not rather counterproductive to prevent the individual from doing so and to tell him or her that the only path allowable is to go all the way with the refugee claim, even if it is not the right path?
