Queers get props for winning refugee amendments

I have a new piece up on the national page of Xtra.ca today, which is about the final negotiation process of Bill C-11 on refugee reform, at the committee stage. This is of course an issue that I've been tracking for weeks, and it was nice to see it come to fruition. The piece was also substantially enhanced by a last-minute call back from the Canadian Council of Refugees, and as you can see, the piece was stronger as a result. In fact, because I was able to engage this stakeholder group, I think my article ended up being better than that of The Canadian Press, who mostly stuck to what they were able to get from Kenney's press conference the next day on a different piece of legislation.
