Canada Immigration Minister Hints at Fast Tracking Refugee Refusals

Canada’s immigration minister plans to propose measures “to reform the country’s refugee system, potentially fast-tracking refusals of cases deemed to have little chance of succeeding,” Reuters reported on Nov. 26.

“Experts and advocates warned that could violate asylum-seekers’ right to due process and could be challenged in court,” wrote Reuters reporter Anna Paperny.

“I plan to put forward more measures. I want to reform the system. It’s not working in the way it should,” Immigration Minister Marc Miller told a parliamentary committee on Monday.
