| Abstract: |
Once again, cries are being heard in the land. No, not the call of the loon. It’s the call of the fairness-challenged, sighting potential asylum seekers: “Send them home”; “The process takes too long”; “Suspend the Charter.” For those concerned to maintain existing asylum rights, there is a sense of frustration. The issue of fairness, which is part of Canadian daily life, seems in this one area to be always subject to attack. The attackers never directly spell out what it is they want to do away with and how this will affect fair procedure in the refugee status determination process. The fundamental question is how is fair procedure to be defined and applied in this context? Let’s begin with a summary of the system and then move to identifying key ways in which fairness is part of the system. |
