I think we’re starting to step on the toes of my colleague, Ms. Brassard, from the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada. I don’t want to step on her toes, because she’s the one who makes those decisions.
I would simply say that they are based on several factors and indicators. When someone is the subject of a decision regarding citizenship or permanent residence, our role is to reflect that. That said, the board is an independent body that takes all factors into consideration and makes the decisions it deems appropriate.
I now turn to Ms. Lang to clarify this.
