The minister showed up on a right-wing TV show. It's described in Gina's brief. You can see the YouTube video yourself.
As well, he stated in the National Post a little while ago that his delegates were handing out leaflets in a city in Hungary that said, don't come here. The message on TV and the message in the leaflets is, do not come to Canada. More or less, they're saying, “You are not refugees”.
I've never heard of this happening before. I've never heard of a minister taking such measures in a planned, strategic way to tell people that they are not refugees. Sometimes people make off-the-cuff remarks, but this is completely different.
I think it is a concern, because these cases, in effect, are being prejudged. The refugee board is an independent tribunal. They're supposed to look at each case on its merits. The board members, of course, are human. If they hear that this is happening, and they hear this kind of information coming from the minister, how could they not take it into account?
