Bonds required for refugee claimants in Toronto and elsewhere

Resolution number
17
Whereas
  1. The majority of refugee claimants in detention in Toronto and elsewhere are required to pay a bond to be released;
  2. Most refugee claimants do not have friends or relatives to pay the bond;
  3. The bail program in Toronto is very slow and does not accept all claimants.
Therefore be it resolved

That the CCR ask CIC and the IRB to release refugee claimants who satisfy their identity requirements, without a bond.
