The article from the National Post discusses Immigration Minister Marc Miller's concerns about Canada's asylum system, which he describes as being under significant strain. Miller highlights that the system is facing challenges due to an influx of asylum seekers, particularly at unofficial border crossings like Roxham Road. He notes that while Canada has a robust system for processing asylum claims, the current volume of claims is overwhelming the system's capacity, leading to backlogs and increased costs. Miller also mentions the need for a more balanced approach to manage the flow of asylum seekers, suggesting potential changes to policies and possibly renegotiating agreements like the Safe Third Country Agreement with the U.S. to better control border entries. Additionally, he emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between genuine refugees and those seeking economic opportunities, aiming to ensure that the system remains fair and efficient for those truly in need of protection.
