What the government needs to do is to create a plan. That plan needs to incorporate a suspension of the safe third country agreement. In my view, we need to increase the levels plan—not to set a quota, but to set the upper targets to adjust to the reality of what we are faced with today—and then to resource the IRB so they can process the claims adequately and expeditiously. We also need to resource the local communities and the provinces so they can provide the supports necessary for the asylum seekers.
Do I have this correct by way of a plan that the government needs to have in place?
I'm going to start with Professor Liew.
