Abstract

This statement represents the collective voices of refugee claimants and landed refugees at Romero House, Toronto. It expresses concern over provisions in "Not Just Numbers" relating to the proposed replacement of the quasi-judicial Immigration and Refugee Board with an administrative unit of the Department of Immigration. Independence of the decision-making process would thus possibly be compromised by the interests of governmental bureaucracy.
