THE REFUGEE BACKLOG

On August 29th,  Reform's

8 Immigration Critic, Art Hanger, relaased a

leaked internal memo {rom the Ministry of

| Immigration outlining a method for

teducing the refugee backlog. The
Ministor of Immigration, the Hen. Sergio
Marchi, has confirmed that the document

is genuine.

THE PROBLEM

It is no secret that we have a huga
backlog of refugee ciaimants to process.
However, the provisions set out in the
leaked memo do not deal with the root of
the problen:: the ease with which refugee

4 claimants can entar the country. It is

estimated that up to 100 previousiy

| deported refugee claimants retum to
f Canada every year to make a new claim.

Some have returned three or more times
after deportation and we still accept them

H for another round of hearings at taxpayor

expense.
At an “All Candidates Meeting” during

Blast year’s election campaign, Mobina

Jaffer said that refugees should have to
apply from outside of Canada the way

‘she did when escaping from Uganda.
| This seems sensible to me. kt would
g certainly put an end to the presant
y nonsense.

QUICK PROCESSING

The leaked Immigration Department

f document outlines provisions for clearing

the backlog of refugees from 27 countries
including India, which is supposed to be a

| democracy.

Examples of refugee situations which

would be fast-tracked include:
© Homosexuals and women's gender-

based claims from Algeria

f° Tribal people and novelists from

Bangladesh

¢ Members of armed opposition groups

from Bolivia

f° Former guerillas, women, homosexuals

and prostitutes from Colombia

1 * Former high officiais suspected of

human rights violations from Ethiopia.

* Homeless youths engaged in criminal

* Women whose clothing does not meet
Islamic standards, and persons in

* Women suspected of breaches in
morality from Lebanon.

* High profile political activists from
Pakistan.

¢ Homosexuals from Russia

* Women and children from mixed clan
marriages in Somalia

¢ Unmarried Tamil famaies aged 13 to 30
from Sri Lanka

* Women who refuse to abide by the
Sharla dress code in Sudan

* Opponents of monetary reform from
Zaire

HEARINGS

The expedited process would
allminate the need for a formal hearing,
and counsel for the claimant would be
unnecessary. The case would be heard
by a single member of the Immigration
anc meiugse Board which imoties that the
hearing would be a formality.

Art Hanger in his media statement
said, ‘Il am outraged, amazed and
saddened alli at the same time. | knew
that the Immigration and Refugee Board
was out of touch with International
standards of refugee acceptance and

with Canadian interests, but to think that |
they have sunk to this level of stupidity is j

astounding.”

It looks as if Mr. Marchi's plans for
cleaning up the immigration and refugee |
process are not quite what most §
Canadians were expecting. The new }

guidelines will have us accepting, without

any kind of formal hearing, communist }

guerillas, terrorists, prostitutes and petty
criminals,

Everyone | have spoken to is very
concerned that this is happening. We j
need to work together to stop it. You can

help by writing to the Minister TODAY!
