Before we left the last meeting, you gave me a list of NDP 2, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11. How are we going to deal with that? Are we going to just...?

It's to remove the concurrent bar on humanitarian and compassionate grounds and the one-year period during the refugee process. I think we know what this issue is about. Refugees need to access humanitarian and compassionate grounds.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I think the genesis of this decision was that members, I believe on both sides of the House, wanted to have greater clarification on the significance of various amendments. We felt it would be wise for us to use the next couple of hours to ask questions and get a broad sense of direction.
In particular, in the first half, I think we'd like to hear from the officials on the impact of the various government amendments—what they mean, what their impact is on the system, what their impact is on refugee claimants—so that we can get a better understanding.
Going through these amendments, we have found that they have a lot of information packed into them, but we sometimes fail to understand their overall impact, specifically on people, which is really what this legislation is all about—trying to improve the system, but ultimately to protect and wherever possible expand the rights of individuals while having a timely and efficient refugee system.
This is where we are. We'd like to hear from the officials.
We can begin, I guess, with amendment G-3 and have them give us an overview of what it means, both from a system point of view and as to the individual person applying for refugee status here in Canada.

Mr. MacDougall, I didn't have the benefit of being here in 2007 as a member of this committee. Some people were here. I'm just wondering, on the recommendation that was made to proceed with this transfer, can you tell me just the salient points? What were the reasons for doing that? What did the committee recommend?

Why is it important to have the risk assessment under one umbrella?

A lot of this debate is centred around the protection and/or enhancement of rights for individuals. Does this move affect the rights of individual claimants in any way?

To follow up on a question asked by Mr. Karygiannis, how does the role of a member of Parliament, as an advocate for a refugee claimant, change in this instance as a result of the transfer?
