From what I understood, you said you were not able to provide a solution. That's somewhat unfortunate because that is exactly what the committee is looking for.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2138999\" data-originallang=\"fr\">You have emphasized\u2014and I believe Mr. Waldman talked about it too\u2014that we should not punish the victims. Although I too share this noble point of view, I was wondering what you meant by that. Are we to understand that victims of fraud should be allowed into Canada, even if their application is invalid, just because they were victims of fraud?</p>",

Vous avez dit que vous n'aviez pas de solution \u00e0 offrir, d'apr\u00e8s ce que j'ai compris. C'est un peu dommage, parce que c'est ce que recherche le comit\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2138999\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Vous avez soulign\u00e9 \u2014 et je pense que M. Waldman a repris cette id\u00e9e \u2014 qu'il ne fallait pas p\u00e9naliser les victimes. M\u00eame si c'est un sentiment noble que je partage aussi, je me demande ce que vous entendiez par l\u00e0. Doit-on comprendre que vous pensez que les victimes de fraude devraient \u00eatre admises au Canada, m\u00eame si leur dossier n'est pas valable, sous pr\u00e9texte qu'ils ont \u00e9t\u00e9 victimes de fraude?</p>"
