Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
As–salaam alaikum, and welcome to the committee, Mr. Gardee.
It's great to see you again, Professor Bhabha.
I want to join my colleague Mr. Dubé in thanking Mr. Khan, in particular, who comes to us not only in the role of an advocate but also as a parent of a child who is directly impacted by the no-fly list.
Thank you, all four of you, for your advocacy, for your voices and for pushing us on issues that will ultimately result in better legislation and better institutions. I think it's quite clear to the committee that, from your perspectives, the status quo is not good enough, and I think, from my personal perspective—and I speak for others on the committee, I'm sure—we need to make changes. If we continue to go along the track that we are on right now, it is not working, and it is not the best Canadian answer that we can develop.
I want to seek some clarity from you, because in the beginning, there was some perception that there were differences in terms of what you'd like to achieve, and Professor Bhabha said we should just scrap the PPP altogether. If we had the U.S. equivalent, one for one, in front of us tomorrow, and it was operational, would that meet your concerns, and if so, to what extent?
We heard from other witnesses, from other members of the Muslim community but also other communities, that the U.S. redress system, stigmatizing as it may be, is at least functional. Do you agree with that?
