Resolution number
13
Whereas
- When the Government of Canada first negotiated with NGOs to join in the resettlement of refugees through the Private Sponsorship of Refugees Program, NGOs agreed to participate on the condition that the three principles of partnership, additionality and naming were guaranteed.
- These three principles were clearly articulated and supported in the Private Sponsorship Review.
- The Government of Canada regularly attempts to dilute these principles.
Therefore be it resolved
That the CCR write to the Government of Canada clearly reiterating the original principles of the Private Sponsorship Program and expressing our concern over Citizenship and Immigration Canada's regular attempts to dilute or discard these principles.
