My questions deal with the memo you allude to on your website. What progress have you made since 2005 on the review of the refugee status determination system? I do not understand why the department persists in opposing the will of Parliament expressed here by its elected members in 2001. The issues are important for those claiming refugee status. The consequences are significant, as you have seen in the press on countless occasions. Citizenship and Immigration Canada is criticized regularly for the fact that it has no appeal section and the fact that there can be no appeal on the merits. Why does the department refuse to allow appeals on the merits of claim?
On March 29th, 2007. See this statement in context.
