PV‑6 is another amendment to protect the rights of peoples—
It's for the most vulnerable.
I shouldn't try to speak French when I've been trying to go all day with you all. I appreciate the fortitude of committee members.
This amendment proposes that we actually add a new clause. This amendment suggests that, right before line 20 on page 31, we add this language:
72.1 Section 50 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act is amended by striking out “and” at the end of paragraph (d), adding “and” at the end of paragraph (e) and adding the following after paragraph (e):
(f) in the case of an individual whose claim was determined to be ineligible...and whose application for protection under Division 3 of Part 2 is rejected
(i) for 15 days if no application is made to the Federal Court for leave to commence an application for judicial review concerning the rejection; or
(ii) until the Federal Court refuses their application for leave to commence an application for judicial review, or denies their application for judicial review....
I did not read the paragraph and subparagraphs in their entirety, but the purpose of this amendment, Mr. Chair and other members, as recommended by the Canadian Association of Refugee Lawyers, is to ensure that individuals who are subject to new ineligibilities are given a statutory stay of removal. This will also, as Ms. Kwan mentioned earlier in one of her amendments, avoid a lot of backlog of Federal Court applications and allow the determination of an application for leave and judicial review to be filed. It's a matter of natural justice and constitutional rights. I also think it's required under the international convention for the protection of refugees.
