I would argue that, and question that, on the very premise that a person with a different ability comes forward with an application for immigration, the entire family is flagged, and that one person who is flagged with a different ability has to undergo a different process. That in itself sets out a different standard that applies. Simply because of a disability, they have to undergo a different process. To me, that is already a violation of our basic human rights, the UN convention, our charter rights, and so on.
I'm not a lawyer, so I'm not that smart, but I know what I know from my heart, and I know what I know as human and humanity, and this applies. I believe our Canadian laws ought to reflect that. I think that's what Canadians want to see us do, as well.
With that, I will also submit that we have not taken into account the cost for government to go through all of this process every time someone makes an appeal to the Federal Court and so on. That costs the system. It costs not only in terms of staffing, but it jams up the system and creates a backlog, and you will all be very familiar with backlogs.
