Dear\u00a0[MP NAME],<\/em><\/p>\n

My name is\u00a0[NAME]\u00a0and I live in\u00a0[CONSTITUENCY].<\/em><\/p>\n

I am writing because I am deeply concerned about the recent US travel ban, including both its impact on Canadians and immigrants and refugees worldwide.<\/em><\/p>\n

I join the\u00a0Canadian Civil Liberties Association<\/a>\u00a0in calling on the Canadian government to take the following steps to honour its constitutional, legal and international law obligations immediately:<\/em><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Suspend the Canada-U.S. Safe Third Country Agreement,\u00a0which prevents asylum-seekers travelling from the US from claiming refugee status in Canada, unless they qualify for the limited exception under the agreement.<\/em><\/li>\n
  2. Put in place procedures to efficiently process applications from all asylum seekers from countries affected by the ban who are in the United States and wish to seek refuge in Canada.<\/em><\/li>\n
  3. Increase the number of refugees accepted by Canada in 2017 to accommodate individuals from countries currently affected by the U.S. ban, and in particular raise the cap recently imposed on refugees from Syria and Iraq.<\/em><\/li>\n
  4. Ensure Canadian airlines and other commercial enterprises do not collude with a foreign domestic order \u2013 and refuse boarding passes to immigrants, dual citizens, refugees and asylum seekers \u00a0\u0336 \u00a0that discriminates on the basis of country of origin, ethnic origin, or religious belief.<\/em><\/li>\n
  5. Ensure clear guidelines are provided by Canada and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to all consular officials to assist any Canadians from the U.S. ban-listed countries who are overseas and find themselves stranded, detained, or otherwise prevented from returning to Canada.<\/em><\/li>\n
  6. Review the impact of all information sharing agreements with the United States, including, but not limited to the\u00a0Security Canada Information Sharing Act\u00a0introduced by Bill C-51; the information sharing agreements pursuant to the Canada-U.S. Security Perimeter Agreement; and the particular impact of Canadian national security agencies including the Canadian Border Security Agency sharing information with U.S. agencies. Canada must ensure that innocent persons are not put at risk by information provided by Canada.<\/em><\/li>\n
  7. Review the implementation of the U.S. International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITARS), which has been used on several occasions by Canadian companies to unlawfully discriminate against individuals lawfully in Canada on the basis of their country of origin or contacts to a foreign country.<\/em><\/li>\n
  8. Provide immediate assistance for any individuals who may be stranded at Canadian airports, bus and train stations as a result of the ban, including those who anticipate being denied entry on arrival to the United States and those who have been turned away by U.S. Customs and Border Protection preclearance.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    As your constituent, I would like to be notified as soon as possible of the steps you, your office and the Canadian government are taking to protect the rights of immigrants and refugees.<\/em><\/p>\n

    Thank you,<\/em><\/p>\n

    [YOUR NAME]<\/em><\/p>\n

    EN FRAN\u00c7AIS<\/h4>\n


    \nVous pouvez trouver votre d\u00e9put\u00e9-e \u00e0 l\u2019aide de\u00a0<\/strong>    votre code postal ici.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

    Cher [DEPUT\u00c9-E],<\/em><\/p>\n

    Mon nom est [NOM] et j\u2019habite dans la circonscription de [VOTRE CIRCONSCRIPTION].<\/em><\/p>\n

    Je vous \u00e9cris pour vous faire part de mes inqui\u00e9tudes par rapport au r\u00e9cent d\u00e9cret am\u00e9ricain sur l\u2019immigration, qui porte atteinte \u00e0 la fois aux Canadiens ainsi qu\u2019aux r\u00e9fugi\u00e9s \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9chelle mondiale.<\/em><\/p>\n

    J\u2019appuie les d\u00e9marches de l\u2019Association canadienne des libert\u00e9s civiles qui demande au gouvernement canadien d\u2019agir imm\u00e9diatement sur les points suivants afin d\u2019honorer ses obligations constitutionnelles, l\u00e9gales et de droit international:<\/em><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Suspendre l\u2019Entente entre le Canada et les \u00c9tats-Unis sur les pays tiers s\u00fbrs, qui interdit aux demandeurs d\u2019asile en provenance des \u00c9tats-Unis de demander l\u2019asile au canada, \u00e0 moins qu\u2019ils ne remplissent les conditions d\u2019une des exceptions pr\u00e9vues par l\u2019Entente.<\/em><\/li>\n
    2. \u00c9tablir des mesures efficaces pour traiter le volume de demandes d\u2019asile des demandeurs provenant de tous les pays affect\u00e9s par le d\u00e9cret am\u00e9ricain qui se trouvent aux \u00c9tats-Unis et qui souhaiteraient demander l\u2019asile au Canada.<\/em><\/li>\n
    3. Augmenter le nombre de r\u00e9fugi\u00e9s accept\u00e9s par le Canada en 2017, afin d\u2019accommoder les individus en provenance de pays affect\u00e9s par le d\u00e9cret am\u00e9ricain, et plus particuli\u00e8rement augmenter le plafond r\u00e9cemment impos\u00e9 sur les r\u00e9fugi\u00e9s en provenance de la Syrie et de l\u2019Iraq.<\/em><\/li>\n
    4. Assurer que les compagnies a\u00e9riennes et autres entreprises canadiennes ne collaborent pas avec le d\u00e9cret am\u00e9ricain \u2013 en refusant d\u2019octroyer des cartes d\u2019embarquement aux immigrants, aux individus ayant une double nationalit\u00e9, aux r\u00e9fugi\u00e9s ainsi qu\u2019aux demandeurs d\u2019asile \u2013 qui constitue de la discrimination sur la base du pays d\u2019origine, de l\u2019origine ethnique, ou des croyances religieuses.<\/em><\/li>\n
    5. Assurer que des consignes claires sont donn\u00e9es par le Canada et le Minist\u00e8re des affaires \u00e9trang\u00e8res \u00e0 tous les consulats officiels pour assister tous les Canadiens venant des pays vis\u00e9s par le d\u00e9cret am\u00e9ricain, qui sont outremer et se retrouvent bloqu\u00e9s, d\u00e9tenus ou emp\u00each\u00e9s de retourner au Canada de toute autre fa\u00e7on.<\/em><\/li>\n
    6. R\u00e9viser l\u2019impact de toute entente de partage d\u2019information avec les \u00c9tats-Unis, incluant, mais ne se limitant pas \u00e0 la Loi sur la communication d\u2019information ayant trait \u00e0 la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 du Canada introduite par le projet de loi C-51; les ententes de partage d\u2019information conform\u00e9ment \u00e0 l\u2019Accord canado-am\u00e9ricain sur la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 du p\u00e9rim\u00e8tre; et l\u2019impact particulier des agences de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 nationale canadiennes incluant l\u2019Agence des services frontaliers du Canada qui partage de l\u2019information avec les agences am\u00e9ricaines. Le Canada doit s\u2019assurer que les personnes innocentes ne sont pas mises en danger par l\u2019information qu\u2019il transmet.<\/em><\/li>\n
    7. Revoir la mise en \u0153uvre de la R\u00e9glementation am\u00e9ricaine sur le trafic d\u2019armes au niveau international, qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 utilis\u00e9e \u00e0 de nombreuses occasions par des compagnies canadiennes afin de discriminer ill\u00e9galement contre des individus se trouvant l\u00e9galement au Canada, sur la base de leur pays d\u2019origine ou de leur lien \u00e0 un pays \u00e9tranger.<\/em><\/li>\n
    8. Procurer une assistance imm\u00e9diate \u00e0 tout individu pouvant \u00eatre d\u00e9tenu aux a\u00e9roports, stations d\u2019autobus et de trains canadiens en raison du d\u00e9cret, incluant ceux et celles qui anticipent un refus \u00e0 leur arriv\u00e9e aux \u00c9tats-Unis, ainsi que ceux et celles \u00e0 qui l\u2019entr\u00e9e aurait \u00e9t\u00e9 refus\u00e9e par le service douanier am\u00e9ricain.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      L\u2019Association canadienne des libert\u00e9s civiles a justifi\u00e9 toutes ces demandes, ainsi que plusieurs autres que vous trouverez \u00e0 l\u2019adresse suivante:<\/em><\/p>\n

      https:\/\/ccla.org\/ccla-calls-for-concrete-action-from-canadian-government-on-u-s-travel-ban\/<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n
