Thank you very much.
I'm sorry I don't have many questions for the law enforcement officials who have come to us today. We have confidence you're doing excellent work, and that Canadians are safe.
I'm more interested in some of the lines of questioning brought by the opposition members, particularly around the third challenge that was raised by Mr. MacDonald, that at the working level the Americans have been notified that Canada has a concern with. This is around seeking the requirement for an asylum seeker to seek asylum in the first safe country where they arrive.
If that rule was in our agreement, what would be the net impact on an asylum seeker in Canada who came irregularly from the U.S.? Would there be an ability for us then to render them back to the U.S. immediately? Would they still be entitled to an IRB hearing that would count against their asylum claim? How would that concern play out practically in the minds of a Canadian trying to figure out how this affects the regular migration across the border?
