The point I want to make is that here we have the Conservative government talking about “let's get tough on crime”, “let's make Canada safer”, but because of their incompetence, we have people who are staying in the country who maybe should be going out of the country. They're staying in the country because of the incompetence of the Conservatives in terms of handling the appointments to the Immigration and Refugee Board.
I want to commend you, certainly, as well as Mr. Fleury and the rest of the board, for taking a principled stand. We fought and you fought to get an appointment process going that would not have political appointments and political payoffs. We have to be very mindful that when the board was initially created, totally unqualified people were put on the board by the previous Conservative government, which is very well documented by Stevie Cameron in the book On the Take: Crime, Corruption and Greed in the Mulroney Years.
We were getting away from that, and now we've come to a position in which security is being threatened because of Conservative incompetence. I find it incredible that they sing one way when they're in opposition but they act totally contrary to it when they're in government.
My next question is whether you could elaborate on some of the other cases that are being held up by the immigration appeal division because there isn't the manpower or person power to hear cases that have to, according to legislation, go before it.
