Does the Minister not think a case-by-case basis is extremely important when we look at the political climate in some countries? We are moving to a place where we are making decisions that will start to create a hierarchy under asylum processes. While we will not return people feeling war, if we have individuals from Kazakhstan coming here who say they are gay men or whatever and that they cannot live in that country, those types of nuances can get lost if we have this flat agreement. We are saying that if people do not reach certain criteria, we will not deal with them on a case-by-case basis, but rather use this other mechanism that triggers readmission.
