CEIU submission on Bill C-11

Bill C-11 proposes that first-level decision makers for the in-land refugee determination process be public servants, rather than Governor-in-Council (GIC) appointees. CEIU has provided a submission to the Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration that addresses the issue of preferential treatment of current GIC’s for public service positions at the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB).

Bill C-11 (An Act to amend the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act) is now before the Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration. The union’s written submission reviews the treatment of GIC’s and public servants, and concludes with concrete proposals aimed at preventing preferential treatment at the IRB.
