Federal Court: Canadian Doctors for Refugee Care

Canadian Doctors for Refugee Care: Lawyers for Canadian Doctors for Refugee Care told a federal court Tuesday the move wasn't an act of parliament, nor was it a regulation - which they argue makes it invalid, according to CTV. Until June 30 of last year, Ottawa covered the costs of drugs and medical care for refugee claimants until they were eligible for provincial coverage or their claims had been rejected and TORONTO -- A group of doctors says Ottawa didn't have the legal authority to cut back health-care coverage for refugee claimants. The group is challenging the changes along with the Canadian Association of Refugee Lawyers and two refugee claimants who say losing their coverage caused them severe psychological stress.
