My opinion is about the same. We need to choose a model, a legal status, that would help the ICCRC support the fight against unauthorized representatives. We need to give more power to regulatory bodies. We need to stop using the term “ghost consultant”.
In my presentation, I showed that, in many countries, ghost consultants aren't unknown individuals. The situation also exists here, in Canada. I think certain people are already contravening section 91 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.
We can start by solving this problem. We can then create a solid and qualified team composed of people from the Canada Border Services Agency and the ICCRC, for example, who would have the necessary powers. It would then be possible to fight against unauthorized representatives.
