Thank you all for being here.
As you aptly mentioned, Canada has a very open policy on immigration and refugees. And the world is in conflict, so there are a lot of issues we address, or try to address, through our humanitarian efforts. Sometimes we don't get it right. Sometimes we get it very right.
My question is on detention and removal, and this is in regard to permanent residents and foreign individuals who are illegally in Canada. The agency's policies and standards for detaining individuals are broad, the Auditor General states, and allow for latitude for decision-making. Could you explain to me whether this latitude has led to any unavoidable circumstances? Has it led to some risks being posed, or has it led to any unfairness or improper detention?
Number two, it says that the agency does not carry out certain aspects of detention and removal with due regard to cost. Could you explain what you mean by that? Because you say that few controls are in place to ensure that decisions to escort individuals being removed to their destination countries are based on risk. Could you explain that to me? Then I will proceed with other questions. Thank you.
My question is for Mr. Stock.
