Thank you very much, Mr. Chair, and thank you to all three of our witnesses for their very thoughtful presentations.
I'm going to start with the issue of a safe third country agreement. Minister Blair, actually, a few weeks ago at a different committee, the public safety committee, put on the public record, in response to my colleague Matthew Dubé's question about whether or not the government will eliminate applying a safe third country agreement to the entire border from its discussion and negotiations with the United States, that the answer was no.
The option of applying the safe third country agreement to the entire border is on the table as the government sits at the table when it renegotiates the safe third country agreement with the U.S. I'd like to ask all three of you for your comments about that, and whether or not this is the right approach, or should we just be on the record that this is not an option?
Professor Macklin.
