Make no mistake, Mr. Kenney has launched a campaign of rhetoric against refugees. He wants Canadians to believe that most refugees who seek Canada's protection must be stopped before they get here. Don't play the numbers game - how many persons are we willing to let die? one, ten, a thousand or ...? Yes, the refugee system needs strengthening but what needs to change? Support the Immigration and Refugee Board with sufficient staff appointments and an effective means to make good first decisions, implement a meaningful second stage, remove people quickly who are found not to be genuine refugees, ensure that all refugees who are in need of protection actually get it as quickly as possible, stop 'incentivizing' persons who are not refugees but make sure we don't turn away those who are genuinely in need of Canada's protection.
