Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Bissett, I am not going to ask you any questions. I was somewhat surprised by your testimony. My impression is that you made a lot of gratuitous accusations and threw out messages that do not correspond to what we see on the ground. That seems a little too easy, to me.
Before the 1995 sovereignty referendum, we granted citizenship to thousands of Canadians at top speed. There was one terrorist in that batch. No sovereignist will say that federalism encourages terrorism. That has nothing to do with it. There are processes, but some terrorists manage to get through the cracks. That is not a reason to toss out our whole system.
I will now address Ms. Dench and Ms. Augenfeld. The government tells us there will be a thorough reform. The system is going to be rebuilt from the ground up, so this is not the time to be adding a new refugee appeal division. Under the Act, the government has one year to bring about this reform, that we have been talking about for eight years.
Do you think we should wait and see whether there will ultimately be a reform and whether it will be a good one, or should we rather create a refugee appeal division immediately and pass the bill? Next year, if the government brings us something worth considering, then we will analyze it.
