Who carries this bill
Arrows run from the person responsible to those who answer to them on this bill. The critic leads the Senate’s scrutiny and answers to no one on it.
What it set out to do
On 17 June 2009, the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration introduced Bill C-45, An Act to amend the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, in the House of Commons and it was given first reading. Clause 1 of Bill C-45 amends the objectives of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act with respect to immigration to add the word “public” to the reference to the protection of health and safety currently specified in section 3(1)(h) of the Act. The amended Act will, in the context of immigration, aim to protect public health and safety and to maintain the security of Canadian society. Clauses 2 and 3 of Bill C-45 amend the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act to allow immigration officers to refuse to authorize foreign nationals to work in Canada if they are deemed to be at risk of exploitation.
