This is your chance to bring up occasions where these provisions made you scratch your head and go, "Huh?" Write some "questions of interpretation"

More details that might help with the answer:

Paragraph 3(2)(b) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, or IRPA, states that one of the objectives of the Act is "to fulfil Canada's international legal obligations with respect to refugees and affirm Canada's commitment to international efforts to provide assistance to those in need of resettlement." Paragraph 3(3)(f) states that the Act is to be construed in a manner that "complies with international human rights instruments to which Canada is signatory."

With these in mind, you may want to pay particular attention to ss 96, 97, 112(1), 115 of the IRPA which are important in the context of ss 3(2) and 3(3)) of the IRPA.

For instance, you might ask whether section 115 of the IRPA complies with Canada's international obligations of non-refoulement under the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees, as well as its non-refoulement obligations under the Convention Against Torture and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. Other such questions may also be raised based on the readings by Vincent Chetail or Matthew Gibney, Annex I of the New York Declaration, or the Global Compact on Refugees.

In other words, in reading the legislative provisions, one particular kind of question is whether Canada is living up to its international commitments.
