I will move on to deal with the bill right now anyway, just as soon as I can get to the right page again.
Minister, Bill C-31 also allows you to designate a group of refugees, the ones who arrive in groupings as you said, as irregular arrivals. If their refugee claims are accepted, they'll be designated foreign nationals and will have to wait five years before they can apply for permanent residency—and we know that the waiting lists after that could be another five. So isn't that a very long time for bona fide refugees to be separated from their children and families? It could be a husband, a wife, or little children, but children definitely could be involved.
