I thank the member for his question.
With regard to the safe third country agreement, as my colleague mentioned, the agreement does have some limited exceptions through which an individual, if they were to arrive in the U.S. first and then try to claim asylum in Canada, would be permitted to claim asylum in Canada.
In the case of a family exemption, as my colleague from the CBSA discussed earlier, if an individual who arrives first in the U.S. and then comes to Canada to claim asylum has a family member in Canada who is a citizen, a permanent resident or a convention refugee, or who in some cases has a pending refugee claim, they are permitted to claim asylum in Canada. My understanding is that this allows families to be kept together when they're seeking protection.
With regard to any further exemptions in the STCA, it's not my area of expertise.
