CBC News — Quebec officially extends public health insurance coverage for Ukrainian refugees
The Quebec government will provide Ukrainian refugees with at least three more years of public health insurance coverage. In a statement sent to Radio-Canada on Sunday, the office of Health Minister Christian Dubé said the public health insurance coverage for Ukrainian refugees — which was slated to expire in March — will be extended by three years until March 2028. “Quebec has shown its support for the Ukrainian people and will honour its commitment,” the statement reads.
CBC News — Federal funding for some B.C. newcomer support programs cut
Multiple programs supporting immigrant and refugee settlement in British Columbia are losing federal funding, as the Canadian government plans to decrease the number of newcomers allowed into the country. Immigrant Parents as Literacy Supporters (IPALS), run by the non-profit Decoda Literacy Solutions, is one of the impacted programs. It had been fully funded by federal grants for ten years — about $450,000 per year. “The funding was not renewed, full stop,” said Decoda executive director Sandra Lee. “We were really shocked.”
Le Devoir — La réduction des cibles fédérales en immigration a rapproché Québec et Ottawa, dit Duclos
La date du 19 septembre est encore marquée dans l’esprit du ministre fédéral Jean-Yves Duclos. Il ne s’agissait pas seulement du jour de sa nomination comme nouveau lieutenant politique du Québec — mais aussi du moment choisi par le premier ministre du Québec, François Legault, pour demander un changement de gouvernement à Ottawa. Le premier ministre caquiste avait alors enjoint au Bloc québécois de retirer sa confiance envers le gouvernement de Justin Trudeau pour déclencher des élections fédérales hâtives.
National Post — Immigration minister plans reforms to asylum system to stop it being ‘gamed’
Federal Immigration Minister Marc Miller says he’s eyeing changes to Canada’s asylum system “that could potentially address” people who take advantage of the Safe Third Country Agreement. Under the revised deal, Canada and the United States can turn away people who cross from one country into another through unofficial points of entry and try to claim asylum within 14 days. Until early 2023, the agreement only applied to official points of entry and did not include a 14-day rule.
The Globe and Mail — Nearly a decade after the Syrian refugee crisis began, Canada remains transformed by its response
It was a portrait of humanity’s failure: the photograph of three-year-old Alan Kurdi, who had escaped civil war in Syria only to drown in the Mediterranean Sea alongside his mother and brother. The image of the little boy, lying face down and alone in the sand, in a red T-shirt and navy shorts, landed on front pages around the world and moved hearts and minds. Alan Kurdi’s family had been trying to reach Canada. A federal election campaignwas under way. And Justin Trudeau, not yet prime minister, seized on the mood of the public, vowing to accept 25,000 Syrian refugees if elected.
National Post — Nearly half of Canadians favour mass deportations and 65% think there are too many immigrants: poll
Nearly half of all Canadians believe that mass deportations are necessary to stop illegal migration, new polling shows. A Leger poll done for the Association for Canadian Studies found that 48 per cent of Canadians hold that view — just once percentage point shy of Americans polled who, with the election of Donald Trump, could see such a policy enacted when he assumes office next year.
