One of the things we were debating in the past is having a refugee appeal division within the Immigration and Refugee Board.
I guess the judges are all very aware there's no appeal to the decision within--RAD doesn't exist, so there's no appeal of the decision of the board members within the IRB. They recognize that if they turn down an appeal, if a mistake is made, it's not going to be caught.
How mindful are the judges of the fact that there's no appeal to the refugee division, and to what extent might it influence their handling of the case?
You might not be the one to ask.
