The measures that were recently approved in the strengthening borders act were designed to help address some of the challenges currently facing the system.
There were two parts to those measures. One was to look at how to deter potential misuse and manage surges in relation to ineligibility measures...for claims to be referred to the Immigration and Refugee Board. A second package of measures under that bill was specifically designed to address some of the bottlenecks and challenges in the system so that claims could reach a decision faster.
