Foreign Affairs committee Mr. Chair, I would offer that, in terms of coordinating amendments, there were changes made to the inadmissibility regime under Bill S-223 around trafficking in human organs. In bringing these additional changes to the inadmissibility regime, there are coordinating amendments to—

May 9th, 2023Committee meeting
Kelly Acton
Foreign Affairs committee Thank you. Yes, I think this is a closing of the gap. It is an alignment of regimes. I think it's also fair to say that it doesn't necessarily introduce new discretion. As you say, it is about alignment across all regimes.

Foreign Affairs committee Just to reiterate, the two processes are baked in. If an individual finds themselves on the sanctions list, the recourse is through the mechanism for the determination of sanctions. That exists. That is in place. With respect to the inadmissibility decision, as Mr. Bush has exp

Kelly Acton
Foreign Affairs committee I'll invite Mr. Bush to unpack that a bit, to get to the heart of your question.
May 9th, 2023Committee meeting
Kelly Acton
Foreign Affairs committee Thank you for your question. It is not by accident that someone is on that list. I would ask Mr. Bush to elaborate on why these terms were not defined in the bill.
May 9th, 2023Committee meeting
Kelly Acton
Foreign Affairs committee Thank you for the question. I would ask Mr. Bush to provide clarification on the numbers and the exact amounts. I think it is about 2,900 individuals, not 2,700. Perhaps my colleagues from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada can answer your questions about visas.

Foreign Affairs committee We ensured that all the powers coordinate the amendments so the framework remains the same.

Kelly Acton
Foreign Affairs committee I would invite GAC to speak to the sanctions process and then on the application of that to the inadmissibility regime.
May 9th, 2023Committee meeting
Kelly Acton
Foreign Affairs committee In response, I would turn first to colleagues at GAC. I think it is about alignment. When you are sanctioned, that means you are then inadmissible to Canada. We have a regime, and the inadmissibility regime was not aligned with that. It is now. The precision, I think, is really a
