To strengthen our ability to enforce international sanctions.

Milestones On the Road to New Legislation

Since 1996, the Government of Canada has been reviewing immigration and

refugee policy and legislation with a view to fundamental policy reform and the

introduction of new legislation.

Immigration commitments in the 1999 Throne Speech, Budget 2000 and
