Thank you very much, Mr. Chair, and I thank both of our witnesses today for their presentations.
I'm particularly interested in your comments about finding a way in which we can better manage the situation. I agree that it is not a crisis, and what is necessary is for us to properly manage it. Right now, as Mr. Saunders has indicated, where Canadians take offence is with the idea that somehow people are—quote, unquote—“jumping the queue”.
In order to address this issue effectively, some, including me, have called for the suspension of the safe third country agreement, because that agreement forces people to enter Canada irregularly. Therefore, it creates this situation that we now face. People much smarter than me have called for this as well, particularly those in the legal profession and human rights activists.
My question for both of you is whether you think part of the management of the situation today would be for the government to suspend the safe third country agreement, exercising our authority to do so, to give notice, which we can suspend for 90 days.
Ms. Bradley, I'll go to you first.
