Mr. Woodworth raises an interesting point, as usual. I have a question, though, which perhaps he could answer and clarify for me.
It is indeed true that refugees have rights that are protected under the charter, but do refugees have the full scope of rights that Canadian citizens enjoy? For example, can refugees who are not permanent residents of Canada make donations to political parties? Can refugees or would-be refugees vote?
Maybe Mr. Woodworth could address the differences between the rights afforded to those who land on Canadian soil and those who hold Canadian citizenship or permanent resident papers.
