First of all, the humanitarian and compassionate considerations start in the criminal justice system because a judge does take that into consideration—takes into consideration the background of every person who is charged, and takes into consideration their immigration situation. That has always been done, and that will continue to be done. As I stated several times before, they also take into consideration a mental illness if there is one. That's where it starts.
Currently, at the Immigration Appeal Division, humanitarian and compassionate considerations are just one of the many factors that are considered for a stay of deportation. There is also their establishment in Canada, their family in Canada, their remorse, if any, and their risk of reoffending. That is under the current legislation. It's so generous and so wide that I have been able to succeed with all my clients for stays of deportation. That is being removed. Based on my experience and what I have seen, not just with war criminals and terrorists, but there are also drug addicts, sexual assaults, etc.
