Thank you very much.
I heard you touch on the difference between asylum seeker and an actual legitimate, bona fide refugee. We heard that from other witnesses in the testimony from past days. They talk about refugees being detained. But one of the reasons we need to do that, especially with mass arrivals, is that they come without documentation; sometimes it's thrown overboard and sometimes it's false. You cannot believe that anyone in Canada would expect that someone who has come here without any proper identification will just be released. I'm glad you differentiated between asylum seeker and refugee.
The largest part of this bill actually deals with helping bona fide refugees get processed more quickly in Canada. I think that point has been overlooked a fair amount in this committee. A lot of the witnesses focus on the human smuggling aspect, which represents a very small percentage of the refugees coming into Canada, so I'm glad you did touch base on that.
Going back to the issue with Hungary and countries like that, Hungary obviously is part of the European Union. People there have 26 other countries they can choose before coming to Canada. If you were being persecuted in your country, would you not flee to the most convenient, quickest, safest place to go, or would you choose Canada simply because it's easy money?
