Red Deer Father Gabriel Yanez: Refugee Policy

Testicular Cancer Dept: Earlier this week reported the story of Red Deer father Gabriel Yanez , who has testicular cancer, according to CBC. However, recent changes to the refugee policy have left him with no medical coverage and federal Immigration Minister Jason Kenney says Ottawa is not required to pay for the cancer treatment needed by a failed refugee claimant living in Alberta. Yanez, who is from Mexico, remains in Canada legally while awaiting a final appeal. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
