Even as an interview.... You're in front of a formal person. The last formal person they saw or the last person in authority may have been an individual who was persecuting them, and if these are CBSA officers, they're sitting in front of armed individuals. So I believe there's nothing to lose if we change the eight days to some time within the process and we redefine what that interview is about. I think the process doesn't suffer. The integrity doesn't suffer. Instead, we give them more information to make a better and more informed decision.
