I'm intrigued by your example. I suppose we're all using them to make our points here on the bill, and I appreciate that. I think all of us have the ability to do that and should be allowed to use examples to explain what we're talking about.
Salma, the person you're talking about—which is not her real name, but I understand the need to protect her—wasn't a permanent resident. She was applying for refugee status. You're relating a case that you could have presented under Bill C-31, when we did our hearings on that bill. I'm not sure why you're presenting a case of a refugee on Bill C-43, which specifically deals with those who already have permanent residency. She doesn't have permanent residency. If she was coming from a foreign country and was applying to come to Canada, and if she had been convicted in her own country or charged and it was believed to be true, she would not be admissible to Canada, but she could actually go to the Federal Court to try that. She could also apply under H and C because she actually isn't in the country yet.
I'm not sure why you're bringing this case in under Bill C-43. She's applying for refugee status, so she's not a person who falls under this piece of legislation. She'd fall under Bill C-31.
