Mr. Speaker, the 50% of refugee claimants who show up without documents and say the magic R word, are asked a few questions, fingerprinted, given a medicare form and a legal aid phone number. Then they are released and sent to the welfare office. However, 20% or more of them then disappear without a trace.
Why does the minister ignore the experience, the wisdom, the advice of her own officials? Why does she not really put security into the process and detain the people who are a security risk?
