Mr. Dykstra, could I say something, please?
To follow your logic—and I don't think Gustavo would say this himself.... He was rejected by the refugee board for the cookie-cutter reason that all of the Mexicans received: that they were bogus, that Mexico was a democracy, and that democracies support human rights. So in dealing with what you call a “backlog”, we have had a lot of legitimate refugees caught up in or labelled as “bogus”.
When Canadians hear the story of people like Gustavo and about bank managers, lawyers, writers, and business owners who have come here and been treated as bogus refugees, I do not think they want that. So I understand that—
