Summary

The Liberals have always said, "You know, Canada's back, the Liberals are back, everything's going to be fine. The system is completely broken. The immigration system is broken. Far too many people with fake credentials, fake claims are coming through, jamming the whole thing up. I don t see that there's much way for Canada to ever clean up this whole mess without coming to some sort of system that will let in a lot more people rapidly and then just close the door and start being a lot tougher for the future."

00:00:00.160 My thoughts, Bev, are it's very easy to agree with Michel Rempel of the Conservative Party on this one.
00:00:06.780 The Liberals have always talked a good game on these issues.
00:00:10.340 In fact, Andrew Scheer was on that topic today at a big speech he was giving in Montreal, and he was spot on.
00:00:15.700 The Liberals, whether it's on climate change, international relations, or right here at home with our Immigration and Refugee Service,
00:00:22.200 have always said, you know, Canada's back, the Liberals are back, everything's going to be fine.
00:00:26.360 The system is completely broken.
00:00:27.720 And if the Liberals are going to try to put everything on the back of Stephen Harper,
00:00:31.240 maybe they should give Stephen Harper credit for finally moving to professionalize the people who are giving advice to people who are coming here as immigrants,
00:00:39.760 because that was an important step in the right direction that really helped a lot of these people get real, competent, neutral, professional advice
00:00:47.160 instead of the fly-by-night con artists who used to be out there all the time.
00:00:51.160 The system is broken.
00:00:52.780 Far too many people with fake credentials, fake claims are coming through, jamming the whole thing up.
00:00:57.180 Real refugees have every right under Canadian and international law to have their cases dealt with really quickly,
00:01:05.120 because these are important human dramas, and we should start cleaning things up.
00:01:09.620 I don't see that there's going to be much way for Canada to ever clean up this whole mess without coming to some sort of a system
00:01:16.260 that will let in a lot more people rapidly and then just close the door and start being a lot tougher for the future.
00:01:21.420 Real people who are coming in with real refugee claims should be given refugee status rapidly,
00:01:26.900 and the bogus ones should be treated just as rapidly and told there's a system for people who want to immigrate to Canada.
00:01:34.080 Go use that system.
