I'm particularly interested in the word flags that are being used in the Chinook system, because it will also advise the committee or give a sense to the committee of whether those particular word flags could have biases incorporated in them, especially in light of the Pollara report indicating that racist and stereotype attitudes have been displayed by officials. Since it was officials who developed the Chinook tool, and they did not consult with outsiders—it was an internal system—how it was developed and what word flags have been used to flag applications, whether for approval or rejection, would be important to note so that we can see whether those word flags have any indication toward issues of stereotypical and racist attitudes.
I would ask officials to please table that information.
I would also like to ask officials to what extent assumptions about the home country, the family who might be coming and the economic conditions of the country they're leaving prejudice the decision.
