Actually, we just heard that in Ontario, legal aid is being cut. In fact, refugees do not have access to it.
I do want to go into this other issue, too. We clearly differ in that opinion. The UNHCR also recommended the removal of the five-year bar for designated foreign nationals to file an H and C application from the date of decision or the date of designation. That was back in 2012. Now, under Bill C-97, there is also a bar for people to make application under H and C.
Again I ask this question, why is UNHCR now silent on the current expansions of the H and C application bar?
