I want to point out that Mr. Lamoureux's question and answer session with staff was actually a good one. A couple of points I had asked about were reiterated and also one thing further, that this basically boils down to a more significant penalty for those who misrepresent themselves.
While there are always going to be the potential exemptions or exceptions to the rule, those are going to exist whether or not the period is two years or five years. The whole concept behind misrepresentation is that you are fraudulent, that you are attempting to mislead officials and those researching your file into giving you a favourable decision.
If there is an honest mistake made, we've heard from Ms. Sadek that as the individual moves through the process there are all kinds of opportunities for them to present evidence that enforces, reinforces, or corrects what may be interpreted within the application itself. I think we've beat this amendment to death. I think we understand that the point of misrepresentation is going to put the person in a very bad light, so therefore, they should be honest.
