There is no protection issue for citizens in the EU. They have the right of mobility among 27 developed countries and they have individual protections by the European Court of Human Rights.
So what do I recommend for Bill C-11?
First of all, we need to be more courageous in limiting access, starting with citizens of the EU.
Second, we need to make the interpretation of the convention used by the public servants who preside at a hearing of first instance more constructive and closer to that used by other countries.
Third, we need to enhance our efforts to sign safe third country agreements with other countries through which our refugee claim load currently passes. Otherwise, we'll continue this schizophrenic policy we now have, where we have the most open system in the world, but we also have a very active cadre of people in foreign airports interdicting passengers so they can't come here and use it.
