I would just add to Mr. Milani's answer to say that we're not talking—and I'm not addressing myself primarily to the resource question but to the process question—about the government or a sovereign nation having an inability to decide who should be allowed into the country; we're talking about having procedures that respect the rule of law, to make those determinations in difficult circumstances.
In fact Canada does have the right to make that determination. What we're arguing for here is that it does so in accordance with due process, in a way that does as little damage as possible to the fundamental underpinnings of our legal system, which we have great reason to be proud of in Canada. To deviate from it too much will tarnish our reputation and tarnish our faith in a system of justice, which makes mistakes, as one of my colleagues from Quebec said, even when there is due process.
We should have a goal to minimize those errors. They may have terrible consequences, they may have them only occasionally, but would any one of us feel comfortable about being responsible for their having denied somebody due process?
