In fact, Mr. Chair, I think I'll do just that and turn to Mr. Helyes to ask him some questions.
I appreciate the fact that we've been at this into our third day now. There's certainly some repetition in terms of the concerns folks have. It's helpful when we get specific recommendations in terms of how to improve the bill. Not nearly as helpful is when the only recommendation we receive is to withdraw the bill. Nonetheless, we will continue to meet and move forward, and try to put forward a bill that makes sense to all Canadians and to those coming to this country to become Canadians.
Mr. Helyes, one of the issues we face is a significant number of Hungarians coming to Canada to claim refugee status for a period of time. Between 95% and 98% of their claims are either withdrawn or abandoned even before they have a chance to sit down at the IRB.
I appreciate your being here today. I just want to ask some fairly direct questions about how you believe your country is trying to resolve this issue in terms of your relationship with Canada.
