Facing backlash, the government emailed Liberal MPs saying that no asylum seekers would be at risk. The Canadian Association of Refugee Lawyers and Amnesty International were clear: That is not true. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5895583\" data-originallang=\"en\">The Liberals are desperate for a fix, but experts were explicit: There is no fix.

L'Association canadienne des avocats et avocates en droit des r\u00e9fugi\u00e9s et Amnistie Internationale ont \u00e9t\u00e9 claires sur ce point: c'est faux. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5895583\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les lib\u00e9raux veulent absolument trouver une solution rapide, mais les sp\u00e9cialistes ont \u00e9t\u00e9 cat\u00e9goriques: il n'y en a pas.
