    Volume XXVII, No. 5 May 2009 www.filipinostar.org Filipino community wants live-in caregivers program improved The serious allegations of abuses by a Liberal MP, Ruby Dhalla, touched a sensitive chord among Filipino-Canadians everywhere. This case has reinforced what has long been a common knowledge that live-in caregivers are exploited, underpaid, and abused. Although there are some good employers, they are not the majority. The problem has always been a concern but it seems that government policies do not change without active lobbying by the community. Almost at the same time that this high profile case hit the newspaper headlines, there was already a proposed consultation meeting with the Minister of Immigration, Citizenship & Multiculturalism, Honorable Jason Kenney, scheduled by the end of May which was the result of prior meetings held with him in the past when he was holding the position of Secretary of A group was formed to work on immigration issues, focusing on the live-in caregivers program. to prepare for a consultation meeting with the Minister of Immigration, Citizenship and Multiculturalism, Hon.

    Vol. XXX, No. 1 January 2013 http://www.filipinostar.org Quebec to legalize assisted suicide Quebecers afflicted with a terminal illness may soon be able to seek the help of a doctor in ending their life. A panel of legal experts has recommended the provincial government allow what it is calling “medical assistance to die” in rare cases where a patient is close to death and unable to endure the physical or psychological pain — and the Quebec government says it believes it has found a way of not running afoul of Ottawa with the measures. Euthanasia and assisted suicide are illegal in Canada under the Criminal Code. However, Quebec junior health minister Veronique Hivon said Tuesday the panel determined that provinces have the legal jurisdiction to legislate in matters of health and that the future Quebec legislation would clarify how acts to end a life wouldn’t be considered suicide.

  • Review of the Year
    Review of the Year OTHER COUNTRIES Canada National Affairs LLTHOUGH CANADA IN 1986 ENJOYED continued economic expansion and a modest decline in the unemployment rate, the governing Progressive Conserv- ative (PC) party of Prime Minister Brian Mulroney did not fare well politically. Beset by an image of bungling and incompetence, it also saw some of its leading members become involved in scandal. As a consequence, by the end of the year the Conservatives trailed both the Liberals and the New Democrats (NDP) in public- opinion polls. The most surprising political development of the year was the surge in popularity of the NDP, whose socialist outlook had previously consigned it to also-ran status but which now emerged—largely because of the personal appeal of its leader, Ed Broadbent—as a serious contender against the other two parties. One of the most difficult issues for the government was refugee policy. Canada's generally humanitarian approach had made it a popular destination for growing numbers of refugees, especially from South Asia, including many who entered the country illegally and then claimed refugee status. Canadians seeking to stem this flow sought to distinguish those who were genuine refugees from political persecu- tion from those who were simply seeking a better life, but this distinction was not universally accepted. The issue was dramatized in August, when 155 Tamils were found in a small boat off Canada's Atlantic coast, after having been brought from West Germany by freighter. The question of admitting the fugitives proved divisive in the country, with Jews, mindful of the hostile posture of Canada toward Jewish refugees during the Nazi period, generally supportive of the Tamil case.
