199B Removal pathway non-citizens—protection findings etc.
          (2) To avoid doubt, a removal pathway non-citizen for whom a
              protection finding has been made within the meaning of
              subsection 197C(4), (5), (6) or (7):
                (a) may be given a removal pathway direction by the Minister;
                    and
               (b) may commit the offence of refusing or failing to comply with
                    the direction under section 199E.
               Note:      For the circumstances in which the Minister must not give a removal
                          pathway direction, see section 199D.

          (3) To avoid doubt, nothing in section 199C or 199D authorises or
              requires the removal of an unlawful non-citizen under section 198
              to a country to which the non-citizen could not be removed
              because of subsection 197C(3).
