Up until very recently, Mr. Chair, we had in place the safe third country agreement with the United States that, for very many categories of refugee seekers, allowed us to do exactly what you suggest we should be doing--that is, if they come first to the United States, they can make their claim there.
There was an important court decision that reversed that and basically removed the safe third country agreement. The government is appealing that decision at the moment. We were able to obtain a stay of procedure. Therefore we can maintain our operation until we get a decision at the appeal level. Then we'll see what happens.
