Thank you, Minister. It just seems so un-Canadian for us to allow either a child or a parent to languish in a refugee camp for five years.
My other question for you right now concerns the fact that every other detention review regime in the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act includes a mandatory review of detention within 48 hours. Your bill mandates that the immigration division cannot conduct a review in the case of a designated foreign national until at least a year has passed. Why are you denying detainees the right to a review?
