That's part of the problem with this. Those cases that get a certain public profile.... There is the ability for IRCC to resolve those cases on humanitarian grounds, but that simply can't be an acceptable answer to a problem with the law. It is entirely arbitrary whose case gets that kind of profile and who is able to get the kind of help to do that. We are not that country, and I would certainly hope that none of you would be prepared to say that this saves a law that's problematic.
