Mr. Speaker, under the Liberal government there were only five vacancies on the board. Under the Conservatives the number has grown to 60.
When he resigned last month, the former IRB chairman said that he had left the minister with 80 qualified candidates to choose from. He also said that the backlog was “growing at a rate of 1,000 a month on the refugee side”.
In her attempts to stack the IRB with hand-picked right-wing appointees, the minister has made a mess of Canada's refugee system.
When will she take immediate steps to resolve the crisis?
