The way I understand it, the number of refugee claims in Canada has been increasing at a higher rate than in most other countries. In 2008 there were almost 37,000 new refugee claims, compared to over 28,000 in the year 2007. This represents an almost 29% increase in refugee claims. It is also an established fact in our Canadian system that quite a few of these claims failed. As Mr. St-Cyr also recognized, not all claims are genuine. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1464658\" data-originallang=\"en\">Before I ask my question, the way I understand the proposed legislation or amendment Mr. St-Cyr is bringing out, this will be another layer in the immigration system itself and is basically an appeal to reason and a paper-based appeal, as is the case in most Federal Court appeals as well. </p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1464655\" data-originallang=\"en\">Merci, monsieur le pr\u00e9sident.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1464656\" data-originallang=\"en\">Merci, tout le monde.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1464657\" data-originallang=\"en\">La question s'adresse aux fonctionnaires ce matin. Si j'ai bien compris, le nombre de demandes d'asile au Canada augmente plus rapidement que dans la plupart des autres pays. En 2008, presque 37 000 nouvelles demandes d'asile ont \u00e9t\u00e9 re\u00e7ues, comparativement \u00e0 plus de 28 000 en 2007. Cela repr\u00e9sente une augmentation de presque de 29 p. 100. Il est bien \u00e9tabli que dans notre syst\u00e8me canadien, un grand nombre de ces demandes sont rejet\u00e9es. Comme M. St-Cyr l'a aussi reconnu, ce ne sont pas toutes les demandes qui sont v\u00e9ritables.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1464658\" data-originallang=\"en\">Avant de poser ma question, d'apr\u00e8s ce que je comprends du projet de loi ou de l'amendement que M. St-Cyr pr\u00e9sente, il ajoutera une \u00e9tape suppl\u00e9mentaire dans le syst\u00e8me d'immigration et sera essentiellement un appel \u00e0 la raison et un appel sur papier, comme c'est aussi le cas pour la plupart des appels port\u00e9s devant la Cour f\u00e9d\u00e9rale.</p>"
