I think the IRB has a pretty high standard in the world with regard to refugee determinations. There is always going to be room for improvement. I think the biggest barrier with regard to what this committee is concerned about today is the fact that the IRB needs more resources to be able to operate in a fast and efficient manner, and to do its job in a way that is not leaving a lot of people's lives in limbo.
It's not just the government that has to be concerned about the costs of having people wait for their refugee hearings to be held. There is also the emotional and the financial costs associated with refugee claimants themselves. I think that one prudent measure the government can take is to properly resource the IRB to match the number of claims that are coming through.
