I would say that we in Canada have a system that prioritizes the protection of refugees in an equitable and humane manner. We at IRCC cooperate with our colleagues at the Canada Border Services Agency and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and with the provinces and territories, in welcoming asylum claimants and offering them options in a system that promotes access to education, employment, social services and health care.
We do need to work on claims processing times and to make improvements in that area. However, looking at the system as a whole, and taking the cooperation of the provinces, territories and municipalities into consideration, you can see that our system supports the most vulnerable persons. We will continue to prioritize that work within the department.
