The Safe Third Country Agreement will be back in court on February 23rd, 2021.
The Federal Court has ruled that the agreement between the United States and Canada is unconstitutional and violates rights, but now the federal government is appealing that decision.
Refugee claimants who were returned by Canada to the United States and were detained as a result have shared their powerful testimonies in this case. They have shared their stories to raise awareness about the true impact of this unconstitutional agreement on people’s lives.
We are gathering video reflections on these testimonies from people across the country. We will use these reflections to centre the powerful testimonies of refugee claimants and to let our elected officials know that our communities include refugees.
