Citizenship and Immigration committee  Yes, that's not a problem; countries are public. She was from Congo Brazzaville.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  No, that's for sure. Some people who are already here and who don't want to be removed from the country sometimes resort to this process and file that type of claim. In my experience, individuals of that type nevertheless constitute a minority. The problem is that a lot of people, knowing they're in danger in their country, will resort to the process without being refugees.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  As regards the refugee process, my advice would definitely be to instill in everyone the idea that not everything is necessarily working well and that we can have self-doubt. If we keep in mind that we can doubt ourselves, that everyone is human and that we make mistakes, that may subsequently enable us to find processes to correct those errors.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  My first recommendation would be to go for education first. It would be the first thing. It would cost less and it could be efficient in a short time.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Allow me to introduce myself briefly because, obviously, I believe I'm a little less well known than Amnesty International. You already have the brief that I sent to the committee and that has been distributed to you. I am a lawyer working in the immigration and refugee field. It is in that capacity that I have come to tell you about my experience.
