Yes, it is definitely vulnerable to abuse. We agree totally. We're not starting from the Garden of Eden here. The system does have problems, and they need to be addressed.
One of them, as the government has pointed out, is the extremely long wait for refugee claims. The longer a person waits, the more injustice there is to genuine refugees, but the more of a pull factor there is for fraudulent refugee claimants. That absolutely has to be addressed.
There are certain things about the nomination procedures for members of the board. There have been great improvements over the years, but it's still not a completely depoliticized system. We believe that it should be based entirely on merit and that the nominations should be by the Immigration and Refugee Board itself, based entirely on merit. That's maybe getting off the abuse question.
There are improvements that need to be made, but it is inherently a very strong system and a model for countries around the world. We believe it's a very sound concept to have the first-level decision made by a professional independent tribunal; if you get the best possible decision the first time out, then you have the least worries about correcting errors and the least chance of having people abuse the system.
