Yes, but if the state determines within that 48-hour timeframe that the person doesn't qualify for refugee status and then sends him back, my point is that there are countries in the world that have a lot less of a timeframe to prepare a case than we do in Canada, and that is with Bill C-31.
It leads me, Ms. Jeanes, to a couple of points. One of the points you made when you were here with respect to Bill C-31 was to request, as many of the witnesses did, that we go to the facilities across the country. We did. We went to all three of them. We viewed them in-depth and went through each and every one of them. In fact, we had lunch at Laval just to get a clear understanding of what the food was like there, because that was another one of the complaints that a number of you brought forward.
You said today that although we went, one day doesn't qualify as a true interpretation of what happens there. I have to say that while I have my own specific understanding after visiting the three facilities which model we should be running, Laval isn't one of them. I find that the comments of organizations that are not Amnesty International and are not Red Cross....
You don't have any specific obligation under any provincial or federal government jurisdiction. You're free to go there and visit with potential refugees and those who are being detained there, but you don't have any official responsibility to do so on behalf of any government.
