Jason Kenney: Canada

Legitimate Objective Dept: This is a legitimate objective. In recent years, wave after wave of migrants who face little danger have tried to get into Canada by claiming a well-founded fear of persecution. The most recent surge was Roma migrants from Hungary and the Czech Republic. Before that it was asylum seekers from Mexico, according to The Star. Under his new rules, refugee claimants from countries Ottawa considers safe Kenney has yet to release the list will receive health treatment only if their condition poses a public threat. Those from countries racked by war, ethnic cleansing and tribal violence will receive basic provincial health coverage, but lose their eligibility for drugs, medical devices such as wheelchairs, dental care and vision care. Resettled refugees people who assisted Canadian troops in Afghanistan and were airlifted from refugee camps in strife-torn regions will also lose supplemental health benefits and immigration Minister Jason Kenney has never made any secret of the purpose of his sweeping reforms to Canada s Refugee Protection Act . He is determined to deter bogus refugees. But one of the provisions of Bill C-31, which takes effect on June 30, is needlessly punitive. Kenney is poised to cut health services to resettled refugees and asylum seekers. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
