Yes, but I'm not defending the existing system. This is the point you've made. I just want to clarify that we think the Immigration and Refugee Board's jurisdiction can be expanded modestly to deal with humanitarian and compassionate grounds and also with pre-removal risk assessment, which is something that could also be objectively handled at that level.
We don't support a process that's being suggested whereby people at the Immigration and Refugee Board essentially would be civil servants, a pure body of civil servants at the Immigration and Refugee Board. We think this would fetter the independence of the body and that it would be better if they were appointed for a fixed term through a non-political process based on competence.
