Thank you, Ms. Freeman.
I would like to take this opportunity to say how sorry I am about what happened to Ms. Sitsabaiesan. When I said that concerns for the victims had not been raised, I was talking about the debate on the bill in the House. Frankly, I congratulate the New Democratic Party for voting for the bill. I hope that we will be able to work to improve it, if there are good suggestions.
To answer your question, madam, I have to point out that, in recent years, an average of 850 applications for appeal have been made to the Immigration Appeal Division of the IRB by foreign nationals who are inadmissible on grounds of criminality. That is a little under 1,000 people per year. Yes, we published a list of five cases, but I can give you a list of dozens, hundreds, of similar cases.
