Thank you very much for the question. It's going to be very difficult to give a very short answer on resolving this issue. The issue is very complex, and it requires a complex approach to consider it and then to provide some kind of solution to it.
First of all, as I stated in my very brief remarks, possibly there are two considerations to take into account. One is why this phenomenon is coming from Hungary, on the one hand. On the other hand, if it is coming, why is it coming to Canada?
So there are push and pull factors. What are the push factors and what are the pull factors? On one hand, concerning the push factors, it's interesting in general that you will not see this phenomenon in relation to any other country. It is just in relation to Canada. There might be some push factors, there is no doubt about it. It's the socio-economic situation. There are a considerable number of Hungarians who are in difficult economic situations as a result of not just the latest hardships inflicted by the international financial and economic crisis, but as a prolonged consequence of the economic changes that took place after the political changes in the 1990s.
All these have combined to produce a difficult situation for many. Some of them, there is no doubt, are trying to find a better way of life, and I think that's an absolutely acceptable aspiration for anybody to have. As in Canada, in Hungary everyone has the freedom to leave the country for any reason. It's private. There is no need to explain it, and if someone wants to establish a better life and find a better life somewhere else, no problem, he can do it.
I think when it comes to aspirations to establish better conditions for life, it is an acceptable and appreciated way of improving one's life and one's family's life. From that point of view, there are several persons who wanted to leave Hungary and they did it the right way. By “the right way”, I mean immigrating to Canada, staying in line, applying for the necessary visa or application, and coming here to establish a new life. It seems to us—by “us” I mean the embassy—on the basis of those proofs and facts that the embassy has encountered over the last three or four years, as we have had contacts and have been contacted by many persons, that the great majority of those people who are coming here as refugees seem to have aspirations to improve their lives and life possibilities for the future.
