There are obviously two possible options. I think we should concentrate regulation at the provincial level. On the one hand, the provinces have the expertise to do that, and, on the other, the immigration situation can be quite different from one province to the next.
In Alberta, where the economy is overheated and a lot of foreign workers are being brought in, the situation may be quite different from that of Quebec or Newfoundland, for example.
My second question is for you, Ms. Casipullai. I read your brief on the STATUS Campaign, in which you talked, among other things, about immediately implementing the Refugee Appeals Division. You know the Bloc Québécois tabled a bill on that subject, which was passed in the House. We're still waiting for the Senate to do its job, if it's willing to do so, and pass it as it stands as soon as possible.
We requested that because since there is only one board member to review claims instead of two, we get the impression that refugee status is like winning the lottery. We call it the board member lotto. Depending on the board member you appear before, you know in advance whether you will be accepted or not.
I'm going to give you the example of Abdelkader Belaouni, who is living in sanctuary in a church in my riding. His case was reviewed by board member Laurier Thibault, who at the time rejected 98% of claims submitted to him.
I'm going to ask you a question, even though I already know the answer. If you had to appear before a judge who rejected 98% of claims, would you feel that justice was being done?
