Dear Sophie Lamarche:

Thank you for your recent correspondence in which you express your views and concerns on Bill C-3, An Act to amend the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (certificate and special advocate) and to make a consequential amendment to another Act. I have duly taken note of your correspondence and please be assured that your views and comments have been carefully considered.

Last February, the Supreme Court ruled that the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act violated the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and gave the government one year to replace certain sections dealing with security certificates.

Liberals have been instrumental in making critical changes to the security certificates process so that the rights of foreign nationals and permanent residents are better protected and the national security of all Canadians is strengthened.
