M-12 Refugee and immigration policies

That, in the opinion of the House, the government should work to reform and strengthen our citizenship, immigration and refugee regime, and that such reforms should: (a) rescind the ability of the Minister to revoke Canadian citizenship; (b) rescind provisions of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act that force refugees arriving by boat into detention for a year; (c) restore citizenship to Lost Canadians; (d) task Canada’s embassies with aggressively acting for Canadians abroad in trouble, including those who are on death row; (e) repeal the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act; (f) create a predictable path to citizenship for permanent residents; (g) create a sponsor-friendly refugee support process; (h) prioritize family reunification in immigration and refugee processing; (i) restore health, housing, language and other supports to refugee claimants; (j) end the security certificate regime, as unconstitutional; (k) appoint more members to the Immigration and Refugee Board to deal with the backlog; (l) end the Temporary Foreign Worker Program; (m) end conditional permanent residence that runs the risk of trapping spouses in abusive relationships; and (n) redesign the live-in caregiver program to provide safe and dignified working conditions and provide those seeking citizenship and family reunification with a fair and consistent process.
