I think you're right, in terms of the situation we are facing now.
We are under a lot of stress—the NGO sector, the civil society—because people are talking about the refugee process getting longer and longer. I think partially the government is responsible for that, because there haven't been reappointments, or very few. I don't remember that there have been reappointments. Worse is that there haven't even been new members appointed to the IRB. The number of members of the IRB has reduced almost to 50% of the full capacity, which means few members processing cases, which implies that the refugee process is getting longer and longer.
Our concern is that some sectors of society that don't understand this particular situation are going to use this, the long process, against the Immigration and Refugee Board. In that case, we are going to be facing a political crisis asking to re-examine the refugee determination system because the process is too long. It would be possible to solve this if we started appointing members to the IRB in a normal way, or the way it has been done in the past.
I know we have some issues with IRB members, and don't take me wrong, we are very aware of that situation. We have been saying that the political appointees to the IRB are not the way to go. But on the other hand, the system is failing us.
