"the government must be transparent as they have promised and tell us exactly how many are getting into Canada this way. "

The government has never been transparent about refugees, the whole process is shrouded in mystery, the hearings are confidential,  we only get snippets of information from the media, usually under the form of very incomplete individual "sob stories" where the journalist avoids asking the tough questions.

"justice must not only be done, it must be seen to be done" is an excellent principle that is not being applied to decisions about refugees. 

Without it, the government is asking the public to "just trust us!"....not deemed good enough in the normal justice system.
