Mr. Speaker, there is no favouritism.
To begin with, we have implemented a completely independent system for the appointment of IRB members, with a pre-selection process in which 90% of applicants are not put forward for appointment.
Second, we are creating a system in the Refugee Protection Division whereby, in future, officials from the IRB, an independent and quasi-judicial organization, will be the decision-makers, and not people appointed by the Governor in Council.
That means that we have an independent system controlled by the IRB and not by the government.
