It does indeed. For many, many years, advocates, and I think government officials, have recognized that the humanitarian and compassionate process offers a valuable avenue to ensure that a whole variety of concerns, often involving serious human rights issues that don't necessarily fit easily into other processes—they don't naturally satisfy the refugee definition, for instance—will not go unaddressed.
To see the proposals in this bill that will be forcing people to make choices between either making this application or that application, or in some instances being barred from making humanitarian applications—this is for designated irregular arrivals—for a period of five years will put many people into impossible positions of having to choose between whether they want to try to assert these human rights concerns or those human rights concerns.
These are not duplicative processes. There is some overlap between them, but in many respects they address different kinds of human rights and humanitarian situations, and to close it down is problematic.
