Mr. Speaker, to be honest, I really hope that judge was fired.
The Liberals must take immediate steps to stop IRB adjudicators from revictimizing vulnerable claimants. There have been several reports of mishandling sexual and gender-based cases, including the demand for nude photos of a sex trafficking victim. Another victim was asked why her abuser did not just kill her. This pattern of sexist remarks suggests IRB judges have no understanding of assault whatsoever.
What is the government going to do to ensure that victims of sexual abuse and exploitation are protected, and when are you going to do this?
