Thank you very much.
There seems to be a generalization here that unless you come here with documents, you're somehow not a refugee. Yet, Ezat, if you had arrived here on a boat with five or ten other people, you would have been subject to being thrown into a prison under this bill for a year, and then for five years you could not get your PR and you would not be able to apply for your family members—which could actually then take about ten years before you could be reunited. At the same time we're hearing a lot about Canadian compassion.
What would have been the impact of that on you personally? The “fire” that you left behind, the torturous situation, would have been the same had you arrived in a group by boat or had you arrived on a plane without documentation. Can you please expand on that a little bit for me?
