Well, thank you for that tough one.
Look, I've yet to see a perfect law come out of Parliament. What we are seeing here today, as I say, is a collision of passions. It is impossible to derive a perfect law because of the balancing, the compromises that make legislation possible. After I see the review of this legislation by our Canadian judicial institutions, we will know the answer. Today, no, it's not perfect.
I have concerns about mandatory detention. I have concerns about increased powers to law enforcement that can put human beings away for prolonged periods on their say-so without appropriate judicial oversight. I have those concerns.
I agree that cessation puts in a state of emotional vulnerability tens of thousands of people who thought they were safe in Canada, and are safe no longer. But there are solutions. On cessation, it's called the User Fees Act.
If you are requiring post-positive refugee claimants to become Canadian citizens, on the one hand, on the other hand, you impose on Immigration Canada the duty and responsibility to conclude processing on a permanent residence application in 12 months or less. If country conditions are changing 24 months later, 36 months later, that's enough time for people to become citizens. Then, I don't have an issue with cessation. But presently there is no control over the duration of processing of a permanent resident or citizenship application in this country, and that needs to be fixed.
