From time to time | receive “plain
brown envelopes” from employees of
the Federal Government who want to
leak information about decisions being
made or activities taking place in their
departments. A couple of weeks ago |
received a “plain brown envelope” con-
taining a 99 page internal Immigration
Department report from some employ-
ees of Immigration Canada. The letter
which came with the report indicated
{hat the employees are fed up with the
way the Immigration Department is
being managed.

‘THE REPORT:

Last | May... more. -than’ 100.

_ Citizenship and Immigration staff mem-
bers working in the BC/Yukon Region
participated in meetings arranged to
discuss ten issues related to the
(mmigration Program. Staff‘ members
who could not altend were invited to
provide written submissions. ,

‘Participants divided into eleven
groups to discuss the issues, The
results of these discussions were com-
bined and turned into recommenda-
tions for the Minister of immigration,
Hon. Sergio Marchi.

. THE ISSUES |

"A summary of the first four issues

| .and the Conclusions reached are listed _

1) What vision of Canada do we seek
to support through the Imimigratian
Program? (Keep in mind that these
are Immigration employees speaking.)
Eliminate _ Official
Integration must be more immediate
and immigrants must playa greater

tole in their own integration; immigrant,

population must be more. evenly
shared away from the three major cen-
ters which are experiencing strains on
infrastructure and tolerance.

Multiculturalism: .

2) What criteria should we set for
selecting immigrants in order to
achleve cur social and economic
objectivas?

The selection process must be less dri-
ven by targets and immigrants must be
directed to locate for a specific time in
predetermined geographical iocations.
Official fanguages, suitability and edu-
cation must play a greater role in selec-

tion. Family class must be restricted to -

spouse and dependent children.

. 8) How should Canada’ meet ite

humanitarian: obligations towards
refugees? co
Eliminate all in-Canada refugee deter-
mination and do more to identify gen-
uine refugees abroad. Our humanitari-
an objectives have been set too high
“and while we go about congratulating
ourselves for our. over-exuberant
acceptance of mostly bogus refugee
claimants, the rest of the woild snick-
ers at us for the suckers we are.” Most
of the claims are not genuine and the
refugee system Is a terrible burden for
Canadians to bear. Moe

4) How can Canada work with other
nations to deal with migration pres-
sures? woe,

Our In-Canada refugee process is
increasing . migration ‘pressures. We
should do more work abroad in support

-of resettlement. ae :

NEXT. WEEK.
_° ‘There is not enough room in a 500
word report to give you all ten issues
and the summary of conclusions so the
balance will follow next week. Itis inter-
esting “to. note that . Immigration

‘Department employees seem to be on

the same track as the majority of the

‘population. It is now up to the Minister
_of Immigration to issue the political

instructions which would authorize the
desperately needed changes.
