Yes. In my judgment it is, as long as the minister follows transparent criteria. There are countries—Europe, the United States, Australia, New Zealand—where they have similar systems to ours. They have similar refugee determination systems to ours. Claimants from those countries should not necessarily be treated the way a claimant is from Somalia, Liberia, or some other country. We're trying to maximize use of very scarce resources, and those resources should be focused on where the need is the greatest. We don't have endless supplies of money.
I have confidence that if the minister makes a determination on transparent criteria that's set out in the legislation, you'll have a fair process. I would like to have input from the public. That's why there should be a regulatory process whereby there are prepublication comments in the Gazette and not just a simple order.
If the minister is in fact following the proper process laid out by Parliament, I think that would be sufficient to protect the public interests.
