New tools for the 21st century - the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration and the Global Compact for Refugees : an interim report / Robert Oliphant, chair.: XC64-1/1-421-23E-PDF
"Since 2000, international migration worldwide has increased by 49%, which, in 2017, represented 258 million people living, either voluntarily or forcibly, in a country other than their country of birth. In 2017, 68.5 million people were forcibly displaced worldwide due to persecution, conflict, violence or human rights violations. It is in this context that the House of Commons Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration (the Committee) started its study on migration challenges and opportunities for Canada in the 21st century. As part of its study, the Committee decided to examine the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (the Global Compact on Migration or GCM) as well as the Global Compact on Refugees (GCR). This interim report, based on the testimony of 14 witnesses heard between 6 to 29 November 2018 and four briefs, provides an overview of these two international instruments and highlights Canada's role"--Introd., p. 3.
