Building on a Strong Foundation for the 21st Century: New Directions for Immigration and Refugee Policy and Legislation-Canada

Description: "In a rapidly changing world, the task is to ensure that our immigration and refugee policies and legislation continue to serve our country well, and treatthose directly affected fairly. This presents numerous opportunities and
challenges. But we must never lose sight of the broader goals we are seeking to achieve. We must be careful not to sacrifice the checks and balances we have built into the system over many years by focusing on short-term problems, or problems that can be resolved through administrative change. The refugee determination system serves as a good example — the system does need to be improved, but in doing so we must not lose sight of the overarching objective, which is to protect the persecuted.

This document, Building on a Strong Foundation for the 21st Century: New Directions for Immigration and Refugee Policy and Legislation, establishes the government’s ten broad directions that will guide us in adapting present policies and legislation to help meet the opportunities and challenges of the
coming decades."
