"The Canadian government frequently overlooks the best interests of the child when processing immigration and refugee cases, an advocacy group says.
The Canadian Council for Refugees, meeting this weekend in Victoria, has released a report that's critical of how the government applies immigration and refugee law. The report says Canada in many ways fall short of upholding the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. It says the best interests of the child and respect for a person's rights must be a primary consideration in all decisions involving children."
