Evan Solomon: Budget Bill and Refugee Rights

evan solomon: What we heard from some of the Conservative critics was fear-mongering and an attempt to characterize these individuals somehow as a risk to the safety and security of Canada, Blair said, according to CTV. It's mostly kids, Evan. He made the comments during an interview with Evan Solomon on CTV Question Period, airing Sunday. Forty per cent of the people crossing are children. The proposed legislation in question was folded into the pages of the government's omnibus budget bill. However, as Blair continues his criticism, the Liberals are facing pushback from groups who work with refugees over a proposed change they say could tread on refugee rights.
