Mr. Speaker, I have been through a lot of refugee hearings and I can assure you there is a lot of incompetence there.
Mr. Giga says that a lot of the problems at the board are because of patronage appointments. We have to return to merit, he says. He also says that some appointees have no experience in dealing with refugee cases.
Just last week Anna Terrana, a defeated Liberal MP, I might add, who was appointed to the board admitted that she was not the best person for the job. She was appointed because she was a good Liberal.
What does the immigration minister think she is running, a refugee board or the Senate?
