lists
major
bills
e
By Bob McKinley
Huron .Bruce MP
This session of Parliament
has now been adjourned and I
wish to -report on some of the
major Bills that have been
discussed.
The new "Citizenship Act"
came into effect on Feb. 15,
1977. Under the new act,
applicants are treated alike,
regardless of sex or country,
or origin, and citizenship now
becomes a right upon
satisfaction of certain con-
ditions and cannot be ar-
bitrarily withheld. Major
elements of the new
legislation are as follows:
+ the five year residence
requirement in order to be
eligible to apply for Canadian
citizenship has now been
reduced to three years.
• the age of majority in the
Act has been reduced from 21
to 18.
+ applicants of all ethnic
origins will be treated
equally. The 1947 Act allowed
a British subject to follow a
different procedure than an
alien in order to become a
Canadian. Under the new
legislation all applicants,
whether British or alien, will
be required to attend a
hearing before a Citizenship
Judge and to take the oath of
Citizenship at -a Court
ceremony.
• - marital status does not
reduce the residency_
requirement; the residency --
requirement for the alien wife
of a Canadian husband will be
the same as for the alien
husband of the Canadian
wife, that is, three years.
• either the father or the
mother may apply on behalf
of a minor child for citizen-
ship.
The Government in-
troduced a new
"Immigration Bill" which
incorporates many of the
recommendations made by
the Special Joint Committee
of Parliament on
Immigration. In their
recommendations the Special
Joint Committee concluded
that most Canadians believe
there should be a legislative
means to predetermine the .1
rate and volume of im-
migration into Canada. The
Bill provides for three ad-
missible categories called the
family class, the refugees,
and other applicants. ,
The '; family class
corresponds to the current
"sponsored" category but
will be expanded to include
parents and grandparents of
' any age sponsored by a
Canadian -citizen. Under,
previous legislation, parents
and grandparents had to be
over 60, or if under 60, in-
capable of employment. The
Bill incorporates a regime for
protecting refugees in con-
formity with Canada's
obligations under the United
Nations Convention, and
establishes a refugee class.
The third category, other
applicants, is made up of
immigrants who are selected
-.non, .a-point-systen eintatitlfl —''
and job opportunities.
The "Canadian Human
Rights Act", debated by the
House of Commons, would
eliminate discrimination
-,based on race, national or
ethnic origins, religion,
colour, age, sex, marital
status, physical handicap in
relationship to employment.
The Bill is applicable to all
Federal gov"rnment
departments and agencies
and any business or industry
under Federal jurisdiction,
The Bill also provides for the
establishment of a Human
tghts Commission and a
ivacy Commission.
Individuals, upon com-
plaint, would be given the
right to inspect, correct, and
control information about
themselves in those gover-
nment departments listed in
the schedule attached to the
Bill.
"Amendments to the Old
Age Security Act", passed by
the House on March 10, 1977, -.
will mark the beginning of a
40 year transition, period
during. which current. and
former residents can apply
fora pension under residency
requirements in either the old
or new legislation, whichever
is the most advantageous.
Under the new law, each year
of residence ,in Canada after
age" ii8 will be worth one-
tort.Ieth of a full pension at 65.
