Citizenship And Immigration: Mass Email

Agenda Item Dept: Members of the York South-Weston Local Immigration Partnership LIP , which coordinates newcomer programs to reduce duplication of services, had planned to discuss the $53 million funding cuts at its Jan. 13 meeting, according to The Star. I don t believe that CIC settlement funding is a topic for the . . . meeting and therefore it should not be an agenda item, said the note from federal settlement officer Nina Serrano and immigrant service agencies were horrified when they got a government email last week banning them from discussing recent federal funding cuts that may kill some of them a memo Citizenship and Immigration Canada now says was all a big mistake. The 26 member organizations were shocked to receive a mass email from a CIC official ordering them to remove the topic from the agenda. As reported in the news.
