There is a distinction to be made here. You are speaking about people who do not show up for their interview with us, at Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, or the Immigration Refugee Board of Canada. These persons have already undergone security screening and are released under certain conditions, one of which is to attend an interview so that the process may continue. Those are people in whom we have a certain degree of confidence as to the risk they present.
After a request has been made, those persons receive a conditional referral which depends on our findings. Their names will be added to a register for follow-up and we do indeed make an effort to find them.
To put things in context, we are not talking about persons that we have determined, after studying their file, to present an immediate risk to Canadians.
