As the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees has said, it's entirely appropriate for an asylum system to accelerate the treatment of claims from countries not known to normally produce refugees. This is a standard feature of many other asylum systems in western liberal democratic countries. It's because in the asylum system you're trying to provide protection to people who need it. This system would do that. It would grant everyone access to a fair asylum decision. But when you sometimes face these huge waves of unfounded claims from particular countries, you need to be able to address them quickly and to start, frankly, sending the fake claimants back quickly to send a message that Canada won't be gamed, and that's why.
