As we were saying earlier, it is a matter of discrimination, that is to say the factors that are used to decide that refugee claims would not be admissible because the individuals are from a given country, region or territory. The Geneva Convention has even been used to rule on the matters in Europe. We believe it would also be more difficult for women, for example, in cases of spousal abuse, to assert that they have been victims of repression if their country of origin has been designated.
Diplomacy will also come into play with those countries that would want to be included on the list because, if they were to be excluded, that would mean that Canada considers them to be problematic. Therefore, there would also be interference.
