I think what I would say is that it's possible to speed up a work permit to allow the individual, the asylum seeker, to work during their time in Canada, but I think we also have to respect that there is a process with the Immigration and Refugee Board where someone will claim asylum and the IRB will determine if they become a protected person in Canada. If they do become a protected person in Canada, then they would have a right to permanent residency, and eventually have the right to become a Canadian citizen.
My answer would absolutely be that we would want to fast-track someone who may be a doctor or in the context of some of our labour gaps, but I think it is important that we let the Immigration and Refugee Board make that final determination of whether or not someone's asylum claim is in fact warranted.
