Does Bill C-49 respect international law?
No. Canadian laws must also respect international human rights conventions that Canada has signed, and which make up international law. These include the Convention relating to the Status of Refugees (Refugee Convention) and the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Many parts of Bill C-49 do not respect one or more international conventions. If Bill C-49 is passed, Canada will therefore be failing in some of its international obligations.
