House Of Commons: Protecting Canada S Immigration System Act

Immigration Minister Jason Kenney Tabled Dept: Immigration Minister Jason Kenney tabled legislation in the House of Commons on Thursday that reverses some key concessions the Tories made to the opposition two years ago in order to pass the Balanced Refugee Reform Act through a minority Parliament, according to The Chronicle Herald. But Kenney says a glut of refugee claims from the European Union has forced the government to adopt even tougher measures and oTTAWA The Conservative government is using its majority to once again overhaul the refugee system to reduce what it considers to be bogus claims. This new legislation, called the Protecting Canada s Immigration System Act, more closely resembles the original refugee bill as tabled by the Tories, before any concessions.
