If you take the trouble to come here and have some problems that you believe are legitimate, then of course by having less of an opportunity to be heard in all the details imposed is a cost to you. But the perspective I can bring to your deliberations is to say yes, in an ideal world we would give everyone who comes here years and years to explain to us why their claims are legitimate and should be settled, but we decide arbitrarily that there is a certain limit that should be set. The consequences of this are a cost on those who believe that they are treated unfairly, but the benefit is lower cost to the Canadian taxpayers. That is a trade-off, which I tried to point out is never discussed but should enter into the deliberations.
