Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Thank you to all the witnesses and apologies for the truncated time.
Yesterday, Minister Blair and the representative from the UNHCR tried to convince the committee that the provisions under Bill C-97 are fine and that refugees—asylum seekers—would not be put at risk because there is going to be an enhanced pre-removal risk assessment process. The question was asked of CARL and of Amnesty whether or not that is the case. They responded clearly and definitively to say that people would be at risk. They, in fact, called on the government to withdraw this bill.
I would like to get comments from representatives from CCR about whether or not the justification that the minister and UNHCR tried to advance is one that should be accepted?
