Organizations protecting refugees from Bill C-31

Organizations that would like to endorse this joint statement should send an email to cfrench@ccrweb.ca.

The following organizations endorse the Protect Refugees from Bill C-31 joint statement.

They support an immigration system that is fair, independent of political considerations, and affordable.

Bill C-31 is unconstitutional, undermines our humanitarian traditions, and violates our international obligations - it should be withdrawn.
