Once again, this is simply to say that the NDP opposes clause 20 because it concerns the right of appeal.
We have talked a lot about the opposition to this clause. It is not opposed solely by the NDP, but also by several witnesses such as the Canadian Council for Refugees, the Inter Clinic Immigration Working Group, the Metro Toronto Chinese and Southeast Asian Legal Clinic and the Canadian Bar Association.
As you can see, these people have good knowledge of the statutes and are opposed to this fundamental change to our judicial system.
As clause 20 concerns this right of appeal, the NDP will strongly oppose it.
