If nothing else, this will strengthen support for an open and generous refugee system, because Canadians will no longer believe that the system is unfair. An important part of this is maintaining the support of the broad Canadian electorate for an open immigration system, an open refugee system, and a part of that is ensuring that people know that they're not being treated unfairly relative to those who come here. So if nothing else, it will strengthen public support for our refugee system.
