Thank you.
The Immigration and Refugee Board has gone through a major overhaul. For us to put in another process and let that process be now studied and experimented with at the expense of the life of another refugee claimant, I find that very hard to imagine.
To face a refugee claimant or a PRRA applicant and say, “You might get a hearing” or “You might get an interview”.... Refugee claimants deserve to be heard. They deserve the day when they will be asked questions and they can tell their story. Something in paper would be so much inferior. That human element is very important. It is not about being efficient. That's taking away rights from a refugee claimant.
Ms. Kwan, my answer to you is this. We could probably challenge what Minister Blair and our colleague from UNHCR have said, by asking what the comparison is. We see it every day. Whatever they have on paper, we probably have many different cases that could prove otherwise.
