Immigration reform bill could negatively impact queer refugee claimants

I have a new piece that went up first thing this morning on Xtra.ca. The issue - changes to the immigration and refugee system - is something I've been tracking for a while now, and this bill has been promised for ages. It's finally here, and I covered it from the press conference in the morning, through to Question Period in the afternoon, and the scrums in the foyer afterward. Because I've been working on it for a while, I've had the opportunity to gain a bit more familiarity with the issues, and what do you know? One of the issues that had been raised as a problem showed up in the bill, and I was able to raise it in the article as a result.
