Most of the refugee appeal division is going to be a paper-based process so you aren't going to have a hearing in many situations. I think it can be challenging to strike that balance between asking the questions that are necessary as a board member and also listening and making a determination on it, but that's the cornerstone of reverse-order questioning that informs the refugee protection division.
The rationale that the courts upheld all this is because it's not an adversarial process. I think this is part of what I was speaking about. There has to be a balance between the ability to ask difficult questions, but in a respectful and inclusive way, because I don't think it's necessary to ask minutiae about someone's sexual assault.
