Mr. Speaker, this case does not set a precedent. That is why the hon. member does not understand how the Immigration and Refugee Board operates. It operates independently of the government. Also, cases are considered on their own individual merits.
I mentioned to the member that there have only been two cases in the system. One was refused because it could not demonstrate a well founded fear of being persecuted.
Also, the immigration stream does have the ability to screen for health care costs as well as danger to the public. In most cases where people are found to be HIV positive, they are denied entry into Canada.
