Immigration Bill, 2002: Committee Stage (Resumed).

 

2:30 pm

Tom Morrissey (Progressive Democrats)

The Senator is asking to extend the time limit, but surely we should be seeking to reduce the length of time. I am sure the applicant will be in the country and the circumstances for the applicant making an appeal are not going to change. I do not understand why they could not make that appeal within ten days. I doubt the value of increasing the period to two months. I do not understand the motive for extending the period of an appeal mechanism. Surely it should be about reducing, not extending, the period.
