Second, I understand your sympathy with refugee rights and refugee settlement. However, we also see that when refugee claimants are processed efficiently and quickly and genuine refugees are put on a path to citizenship or settlement, those who don't satisfy the requirement are not sent back swiftly.
This is a very difficult situation. As people live in the country for so long, they may end up having roots. They have a child born here. They start working here. They have fewer roots in the country they came from.
I'm talking about somebody who is not considered a refugee, and therefore it becomes very difficult to send them back. There are a lot of different applications on H and C grounds, humanitarian and compassionate grounds, and it becomes very difficult.
How would you suggest that we revamp or tweak our refugee system so we maintain its integrity and allow those who are genuine refugees to stay in Canada, and have those who are not deemed to be refugees sent back swiftly? Both of those processes have to be done in a swift manner. If you lengthen it and we have access to justice and we allow them a lot of time, then it's very hard to remove them and it becomes a very difficult situation. That's where Canadians get into an issue.
Are there any suggestions you have about how we can maintain a robust system that is efficient and equitable?
