Thank you very much.
I want to thank you for coming.
Mr. Linklater, I think you've become a regular here. You'll soon be declared a sitting member of this committee.
I have some questions around detention. We've heard some conflicting testimony on whether the refugee system really constitutes a significant security threat, yet I know that's the narrative we're hearing from across the way.
One study, based on 11 years of Canadian refugee data, found that fewer than 100th of 1% of refugees were excluded because of terrorist concerns. A 2012 global detention project report also lists Canada as one of the only western countries that actively and increasingly detains asylum seekers.
My first question is, in your opinion, what security threats justify detaining refugees?
