Madam Chair, I want to begin by obviously acknowledging the very profound and tragic state of affairs in the Middle East. To everyone who has been displaced, our hearts go out to them. That is why the work that we do in Canada, when it comes to resettling those who have been displaced, is so important.
There is a system in place that allows those who wish to claim refugee status before the Immigration and Refugee Board tribunal to have those adjudicated independently from the political process. It's something that my colleague and all members would share in the way of principle. It would not be appropriate for me to comment on the particulars of any individual case, but obviously I am aware of it.
As part of the broader work that we are doing, we will continue to have a system that is revered around the world for its work in human rights.
