Bill C-2 is a threat to refugee rights and must be stopped. Join us in asking the government to rescind this dangerous bill.
If passed, this bill would give the current and future governments sweeping powers to weaken refugee rights and protections guaranteed under the Canadian Charter and international law. Many people already face danger because they can’t access refugee protection due to the Safe Third Country Agreement with the United States. Hundreds of thousands of others with temporary status are exposed to exploitation and denied permanent resident status due to Canada’s discriminatory immigration system.
None of us will be safer if we remove protections from those who need them most. This rhetoric and these policies have no place in a country that prides itself on opening its doors to people seeking refuge.
