Senator Senior’s amendment to Bill C-12 passed - a nice surprise. I had less luck with the amendment I proposed tonight, to try to put some meaningful parliamentary oversight on the mass cancellations of visa and permanent residency cards. I thought my amendment was elegant. But it may have been too clever for its own good! https://youtu.be/AFPJWRPW9O4?si=toJ-9Thv51U0XiNG #C12 #BillC12 #immigration #cdnpoli #Canada #SenateofCanada

Today, I was a guest on the Borderlines immigration law podcast, to talk about Bill C-12 and the role of the modern Senate in reviewing difficult legislation. With a conclusion that looks at Danielle Smith’s anti-immigrant discourse. https://youtu.be/sgaggc8uv_Q #BillC12 #C12 #cdnpoli #SenateofCanada #ableg #Alberta #Canada

Next up - Bill C-12. Thursday night, I rose in the Senate to call out the so-called “reforms” to our immigration & refugee systems, which have been condemned by civil society groups across Canada. I was the only Senator to give a speech in opposition to the bill - perhaps because, as an Albertans, I have already witnessed the dangers of demonizing new Canadians and asylum seekers. https://youtu.be/U1QAtaBy-sM?si=np2nmi9xbGJs1Jdk #C12 #BillC12 #cdnpoli #SenateofCanada #SenCa #Alberta #ableg #abpoli #DanielleSmith #immigration #ICE

Some Canadians are counting down the days till Christmas. Some are counting the nights till Hanukkah. But in the Senate, we're counting down the sitting days until we receive Bill C-4, which will, among many other things, exempt federal political parties from provincial privacy law. At QP today, I had questions. I think anyone who cares about privacy rights will want to listen. https://youtu.be/ZB501otrMwQ?si=jbJj626Pcd7P47U9 #BillC4 #C4 #cdnpoli #SenateofCanada #LCJC #privacy #BillC2 #BillC8 #BillC12 #privacy
