It is a complicated legal question. If one province did deny welfare to refugee claimants and the kind of scenario I described ensued—where someone who's here has no resources, they're destitute, they're trying to prove the refugee claim—clearly that application in court would have the same logic as the health cuts case did. You'd be looking at section 7 in terms of security of the person because you could certainly establish that was affected; section 12, where you're talking about cruel and unusual treatment; and quite possibly section 15, discrimination. Those could apply.
What becomes trickier is you have a shadow target right now. I certainly do not agree with Mr. Bissett that this is housekeeping. It is not housekeeping. Apart from that, whether that could be attacked legally under the charter, that is a very sophisticated legal question, but I can assure you that the Canadian Association of Refugee Lawyers would certainly be looking at it.
