This is for the IRCC officials.

I will put to you my understanding, as well as the understanding of the CBC, and you can just clarify for me whether it is correct or not. My understanding is that the areas of focus policy of the previous government was to favour ethnic and religious minorities to the exclusion of Sunni Muslims in the region. Is that your understanding?
