I just have one more question. I only have two more minutes left. That's why I'm trying to rush through it. I really apologize for cutting you off.
During a federal inquiry about the same case I mentioned earlier, the Clinton Gayle case, the associate deputy minister, Ian Glen, stated, “Quite simply, the system failed.” As to why, he explained that the department's priority at the time was to target unsuccessful refugee claimants who were on the run rather than criminals. That way, the deportation numbers would be higher.
How is this policy effective in keeping Canadians safe from serious criminals who are not citizens?
Mr. Platsis or anybody may answer.
