Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you for taking the time to investigate what we also think is a very important issue. At the outset, I would like to say that I and I believe many other members of the immigration bar applaud the efforts of the IRB to investigate the complaints process, to modify it, and to

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Sure. Zimbabwe was 55%, Sudan was less than 64%. I question the reluctance of the IRB to use this statistical information, at least to further investigate. I'll close with an analogy. If there was a hospital where doctors were performing surgeries and the overall survival rat

Citizenship and Immigration committee  No, the client was not contacted. I was not contacted. All RPD hearings are recorded, but I'm not aware whether or not the CD of this hearing was listened to by the reviewing individual. This particular member was not aware that the complaint was filed, because while it was pendi

Citizenship and Immigration committee  There's a correlation between matters that are being sent back by the Federal Court in which a member is specifically named, which is quite rare. The Federal Court, we've been informed, will only name particular members once they've seen a number of decisions in which the error i

Citizenship and Immigration committee  But I think this is part of the issue: it's not very clear. It's very opaque, this complaints process—

Citizenship and Immigration committee  —and how and where you end....

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I think there was something recently, but again it was in very vague terms. I think that Global had made an access to information request to try to get that information in terms of the numbers and the outcomes. The last I heard was that a 300-day extension of time had been grante

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Do you mean disciplinary hearings?
