Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
This was a recommendation, members of the committee will recall, from the Canadian Association for Refugee Lawyers regarding a third party, which is a principle I think we've brought forward in the bill as well, allowing, in the section on representation, which is clause 44, to include some clarifying language:
a person or entity with a substantial interest in the subject matter of the complaint, acting in the public interest.
For reasons that we've had before in terms of investigations, it's important to have those third parties able to make representations on specific complaints. I certainly hope that members of the committee will support this recommendation from the Canadian Association for Refugee Lawyers.
