Abstract

A government study shows that new legislation which has been opposed so strongly and for so long by the refugee' support community and has been pushed just as stubbornly and uncompromisingly by the government,will, in fact, have little impact on reducing the number of refugee daims. The return to a safe third country will affect, at the most optimistic estimate, 10 percent of daimants and, likely, far fewer. Further, the numbers of claimants would probably have been reduced by twice as much if legislative measures had been introduced which had the support of most refugee support groups.
