The time limit is one thing. The more important thing is access to counsel or advice of some kind. I know from drawing up those personal information forms that refugee claimants doing them on their own very frequently get into trouble. If we have eight days, if there can be competent counsel—a paralegal, even—to work with the claimant to have them understand what they should put in, what they're going to be asked, what the required information is, basically a cultural context of what's going to happen...I don't know if you can do that within eight days. I mean, there are weekends, long weekends, and things like that, so I think the eight days is not reasonable. Sixteen would be better, 21 would be better yet, because you really have to have time to understand the process you're going to be going through.
The other thing is, I don't know enough yet about the nature of this interview, what kinds of things they're going to be asked, what the admissibility of whatever is said actually amounts to. We need a lot more information before we can really pass judgment on it.
