Charter Of Rights: Opposition Parties

Human Smuggling Dept: Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff announced Wednesday that his party won't support Bill C-49 when it reaches second reading in the House of Commons, which would effectively kill the controversial measures, according to CTV. "We feel after much thought and reflection that this bill is in violation of the Charter," Ignatieff told reporters after his morning caucus meeting and the three Opposition parties are uniting to vote down the Conservative government's proposed human smuggling legislation. Ignatieff said the proposed law violates the Canadian Charter of Rights. As reported in the news.
