Immigration Minister Jason Kenney: Parliament Hill

Judicial Review Dept: The amendment will introduce a 14-day and six-month review of the detention of so-called "mass arrivals" of refugees, according to CBC. The bill originally stipulated a judicial review would only be necessary after those refugee claimants designated as "mass arrivals" by the minister had been in detention for one year and immigration Minister Jason Kenney is bending to opposition pressure and amending his controversial refugee omnibus bill, C-31. Immigration Minister Jason Kenney, seen here earlier this month on Parliament Hill, is amending his omnibus immigration legislation in response to criticism about some of its measures. Adrian Wyld/Canadian Press "People have raised concerns about this. We've studied the issue closely as a result of which the government has decided to amend the bill to allow for an initial detention review at 14 days initially, and then subsequently at six months," Kenney told reporters Wednesday.
