Citizenship and Immigration committee I am, and I hope that at some point the measures which have been described by Mr. Blair will be enacted in a law.
May 7th, 2019Committee meeting
Jean-Nicolas Beuze
Citizenship and Immigration committee Uphold the decision—which has been commented on here—of having a hearing, a right to counsel, the possibility of appeal to the procedures, and the possibility of having those procedures fully recognized in a piece of legislation.
May 7th, 2019Committee meeting
Jean-Nicolas Beuze
Citizenship and Immigration committee I want to repeat that it's the same procedural safeguard.

Jean-Nicolas Beuze
Citizenship and Immigration committee When asylum seekers aren't recognized as refugees or people in need of Canada's international protection, they have access to certain appeal mechanisms. They could include an appeal to the Federal Court of Canada further to a pre-removal risk assessment or an appeal to the Refuge

Jean-Nicolas Beuze
Citizenship and Immigration committee I beg to differ from your interpretation. They will have a right of appeal to the Federal Court, which is in line with both Canadian and international jurisprudence.
May 7th, 2019Committee meeting
Jean-Nicolas Beuze
Citizenship and Immigration committee They can appeal to the Federal Court. The UNHCR has been very clear in international jurisprudence and is very clear that it's about a fair process, which is entrusted to the Federal Court. I think amongst all of us here, we can agree that it is a robust mechanism to assess wheth

Citizenship and Immigration committee This is why we were very pleased to hear the minister confirm that they will have access to a legal counsel.

May 7th, 2019Committee meeting
Jean-Nicolas Beuze
Citizenship and Immigration committee We do hope that mechanisms will be put in place, for those who need to have an H and C to be able to receive the protection of the H and C.

May 7th, 2019Committee meeting
Jean-Nicolas Beuze
Citizenship and Immigration committee It's important to remember that the pattern and profile of an asylum seeker changes over time. The situation in 2012 and the situation in 2019 are radically different in terms of the numbers, but also in terms of the profile of people who arrive in this country, including through
May 7th, 2019Committee meeting
Jean-Nicolas Beuze
Citizenship and Immigration committee I've had the opportunity to clarify this point. It's very clear that there are push and pull factors causing people to cross international borders and to seek asylum. Every case is individual. I think it would be inappropriate to think that people who are fleeing persecution woul
May 7th, 2019Committee meeting
Jean-Nicolas Beuze
Citizenship and Immigration committee Again, I repeat that I don't believe that a tweet or any particular statement made by government officials here or in other countries triggers the movement. People have difficulty leaving their homes, have difficulty crossing international borders, and do it only as a last resort
May 7th, 2019Committee meeting
Jean-Nicolas Beuze
Citizenship and Immigration committee Asylum countries are finding ways to triage cases to make sure they find not only the most effective, but also the most cost-effective, way of assessing who is in need of international protection. It's important that this process remain robust and fair, which is the case with the
May 7th, 2019Committee meeting
Jean-Nicolas Beuze
Citizenship and Immigration committee Those were the words used by the journalist.
