Mr. Speaker, a little over a month ago the minister of immigration did the honourable thing and called a judicial inquiry into the activities of Michael Schelew, the vice-chair of the Immigration and Refugee Board.
Serious accusations of intimidation and artificially inflating refugee acceptance rates had been levelled at Schelew. The minister said an inquiry would dispel any notion that his department wanted to cover the matter up. On the day the inquiry was to begin it was abruptly cancelled. We learned that Mr. Schelew was given $100,000 in exchange for his resignation.
Mr. Schelew may be gone but the problems with the IRB remain. Will the minister order an immediate public review of the entire Immigration and Refugee Board?
