Mr. Speaker, I am glad to hear that the board has guidelines.
I would like to follow this up. We are not concerned just about conflict of interest but also whether these guidelines cover influence peddling.
I have a 1992 memo written for Mr. Schelew and other members of the refugee lawyer's association by Greg James in which sitting IRB members are tracked and rated on the basis of the percentage of refugee claims they have accepted. This is the type of raw material required for influence peddling and both Mr. James and Mr. Schelew are now on the board.
What guidelines, if any, are in place to protect the IRB process from influence peddling by immigration insiders?
