Immigration And Refugee Board  I appeal to members once again to make their questions and answers shorter.

Immigration And Refugee Board  Mr. Speaker, one thing is obvious to Canadians with regard to the Schelew affair: the matter has been closed. We have no answers and it has cost us another $100,000. The facts of the matter are clear. To avoid any sense of avoiding the issue to have been brought before this cancelled inquiry there needs to be a full explanation by the minister.

Immigration And Refugee Board  Mr. Speaker, Canadians should be appalled at the way this government does business. The minister appoints a good friend to the IRB who is then the subject of some very serious allegations. The minister orders a judicial inquiry into his friend's actions, citing concerns about the integrity of the IRB and the public's perception of a cover up.
