I'm completely with Wall on this and have no idea how his statements make him a dick.


There's absolutely no need to put a hard-line date on this. He's not suggesting we don't bring them in. I'd be amazed if a majority of Canadians (not just his constituents) didn't agree with that statement.

I am not an expert, neither is Mr. Wall.

Peter Showler, the former chair of Canada's Immigration and Refugee Board

But Showler said the screening of refugees is robust, and involves three different phases.
Firstly, the UNHCR has already triaged the refugees and assessed those that would make ideal candidates for re-settlement, he said, noting that less than five per cent of asylum seekers make that initial cut. For these candidates, there is additional security screening so that UN officials can learn their stories, he added.
Secondly, Canadian visa officers conduct more screening and interviews with this group to ensure there is consistency in their cases, he said.
Finally, there is an additional security review of the candidates by Canadian security agencies, including CBSA, CSIS and the RCMP.

He added that, when the Syrian civil war began four years ago, the first refugee flows out of Syria were people who were primarily secular, politically active and pro-democratic.
"They've now been in the neighbouring countries as refugees for four years," he said. "We know who those people are.
"So it's actually quite easy to identify 25,000 that fit into extremely low-risk security categories."

Mr. Showler appears to be an "expert".
