The Canada Border Services Agency has pledged that information Muslim asylum seekers gave RCMP officers about their faith and cultural beliefs will not be used in processing their refugee claims.
The Canada Border Services Agency said Tuesday that while the RCMP passed on information gleaned from a questionnaire the federal police force used at an informal Quebec border crossing for more than a year, "at no time was it used by the CBSA in the processing of asylum claims."
"The CBSA is currently removing information related to the RCMP questionnaire from its holdings," a CBSA spokesperson wrote in an email to the Star.
