“Cabinet must keep reviewing our border agreement with the United States. Has cabinet reviewed it since the U.S. started locking up many returned refugees without a judge, and deporting them to other countries?”
“Mr. Chair, there is a requirement for cabinet to ensure an ongoing review of the safe third country agreement. Has cabinet reviewed the safe third country agreement since the U.S. implemented mandatory detention without review by a judge for large categories of the refugee claimants returned to the U.S., third-country pass-through deportations and deportations under the dubious asylum co-operative agreements?”
