That's certainly not the message we've received from the settlement agencies in all of our national consultations. One of the difficulties we have is that some of these women may be picked up first by immigration officials, not law enforcement officials. I agree with you that where it's in the interests of the prosecution, they will be sheltered and protected. If they are too afraid or unwilling to testify and assist in the prosecution, they can be deported quite quickly, and that's a problem.
Historically, the response of Immigration was to detain and remove them as illegal immigrants participating in illegal activities here in Canada. The Immigration perspective was not that they were victims of human rights violations. These women are dealt with by the enforcement division, which is now the CBSA. They are not dealt with by the section of Immigration that deals with humanitarian and compassionate applications. So there are two different mindsets, two very different priorities. CBSA is concerned with removals, and that's what they do.
