Excluding incarcerated foreign criminals under removal order from day

parole.

Why we are doing it:

It is inconsistent to integrate individuals into Canadian society who are to be

deported on completion of their sentence.

Streamlined Security Certificate Process

What we are doing:

Applying to permanent residents the security certificate process that

currently applies only to non-permanent residents. The process requires the

signatures of two ministers to the effect that the person is inadmissible on

grounds of security, and a review of the certificate by a Federal Court judge.

Why we are doing it:

To make it easier to remove permanent residents who pose a serious threat

to national security.

New Inadmissibility Classes

What they are:

Two new classes of people who will be inadmissible to Canada: (1) people

subject to travel sanctions imposed by Canada as a member of an

international organization such as the United Nations; (2) people who

committed fraud or misrepresentation on an immigration application will be

inadmissible for 2 years.

Why we are doing it:

To strengthen our ability to enforce international sanctions.

To prevent immigration to Canada through fraudulent means.

Milestones On the Road to New Legislation

Since 1996, the Government of Canada has been reviewing immigration and

refugee policy and legislation with a view to fundamental policy reform and the

introduction of new legislation.

The comprehensive review process that has been under way since has involved a

significant number of consultations with many different groups and interests as well

as with individual Canadians. Ministers have been discussing immigration reform

with Canadians for more than four years.

This process has included:

The appointment of a Legislative Review Advisory Group (LRAG) in 1996

commenced a major consultation process both by LRAG and by the

government on their report, Not Just Numbers, in 1998.

A Red Book commitment in 1997 and 2000 to streamline and update the

immigration/refugee system, which promised to implement changes to

make Canada's immigration system simpler, more effective, and more

easily understood.

The release of the White Paper, Building on a Strong Foundation for the

21st Century: New Directions for Immigration and Refugee Policy and

Legislation in January 1999;

Consultations on the White Paper with Canadians, provinces and territories,

non-government organizations, the legal community, special interest

groups, and the business sector throughout 1999;

Immigration commitments in the 1999 Throne Speech, Budget 2000 and

2001 Throne Speech; including the 2001 Throne Speech commitment to

re-introduce legislation to streamline and improve the immigration system.

Consultations leading up to the Standing Committee Report of March 22,

2000 entitled Refugee Protection and Border Security: Striking a Balance;

and

The introduction of the new Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (Bill

C-31 Bill C– ) in 2000 and 2001.

General agreement on fundamentals

There is general agreement that Canada needs a new Act that is simpler, more

effective, and more easily understood. Canadians want to stop abuse of our

immigration and refugee system and protect Canada's borders.

They want a system that is fair, effective, and respectful of Canada's humanitarian

traditions and international commitments in a world of increasing migration

pressures.

They also agree that Canada needs immigrants to contribute to Canada's

economic growth and prosperity. The business community needs access to the

highly skilled global workforce. Canadians recognize that immigration is largely

responsible for Canada's rich and diverse culture, and is a key advantage in the

global economy.

Canadians want a system that reflects our traditions of family reunification and

family values, honours our history of compassion for refugees needing a safe

haven, and contains selection criteria for immigrants that will ensure that

newcomers contribute Canada's economic and social fabric.

Immigration has proved to be a successful economic, social and cultural strategy

for Canada in the past and will continue to be so in the future.

Backgrounder # 4

Detention Provisions Clarified

Detention is one of the most serious measures a liberal society can impose on

individuals. It must be limited to cases where it is clearly warranted and does not

contravene Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

However, Canadians want to ensure that their safety and security is protected and

that that their borders remain safe.

Current grounds for detention remain unchanged

Under the current legislation, there are three main commonly used grounds for

detention:

1.Failure to establish identity;

2.Danger to the public; and

3.Unlikely to appear for future immigration proceedings or removal.

Detention process will be more effective and transparent

The criteria for detention decisions will be established in the new Regulations.

There will be a requirement to review detention decisions after 48 hours, with further

reviews scheduled after 7 days and each subsequent 30-day period.

Foreign criminals facing deportation orders will not be eligible for day parole, as

they are unlikely to respect conditions set out in temporary release programs.

Priority hearings for those in detention

To balance increased detention measures, the Immigration and Refugee Board

(IRB) will give priority to hearings for those being held in detention.

This streamlining should prevent refugee claimants from remaining in detention for

long periods of time. Every step in the process from the irregular arrival of a foreign

national in Canada to his or her removal following a negative decision will be fair

and faster.

Protection of unaccompanied minors

While the legislative package honours Canada's international commitments to

protect the best interests of the child, the security and safety of unprotected

minors arriving as part of a criminally organized smuggling or trafficking operation is

a major concern.

These children are vulnerable to exploitation and coercion by the traffickers; in

these cases, detention is truly a last resort and this is stipulated in the Act. The

Government of Canada will make every effort to make arrangements with provincial

social services to protect these children effectively, while seeking to ensure that

they are not deprived of education and other basic needs.

Backgrounder # 5

A Fair, Faster, More Effective Refugee

Determination Process

Front-end security screening of all refugee claimants

In the current system, security and background checks are initiated only once an

individual has had a refugee claim accepted and has applied for permanent resident

status. In the new system, security screening will be initiated for all claimants at

the time the claim is submitted. Greater coordination between domestic and

international agencies will improve the timeliness of security information.

Faster referrals to the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB)

The legislation will speed up this process by clarifying grounds of eligibility and

automatically referring all eligible claims to the IRB within 3 working days.

Consolidated assessment of protection grounds at the IRB

Currently, assessment of the grounds for protection is handled in several stages,

one at the IRB and the others at Citizenship and Immigration (CIC). The new

system will consolidate these grounds in one risk assessment during a single

hearing process at the IRB. The grounds for assessment of risk are: Geneva

Convention on Refugees, risk of torture (Convention Against Torture), and risk to

life and/or cruel and unusual punishment. These grounds are not new; they are

merely being brought together from several current steps into one.

Use of single-member panels as the norm at the IRB

Currently, two-member panels hear refugee cases at the IRB, and in the majority of

cases the decisions are unanimous. The process will be made more efficient by

the use of single-member panels as the norm.

Greater use of Ministerial interventions

The Minister (by delegated authority to her officials) will have the right to intervene

at IRB hearings to present security information or other data pertinent to the case.

Greater coordination between domestic and international agencies will improve the

timeliness and accuracy of information.

Paper review on merit to be introduced

To ensure consistency in decision-making and fairness to all refugee claimants, a

paper review on merit may be conducted by a division of the IRB. This step is

intended to ensure fairness and reduce the number of protracted applications for

leave for judicial review by the Federal Court.

Pre-Removal Risk Assessment (PRRA)

In keeping with Canada's international commitment not to repatriate people who

would face risk upon return, the Pre-Removal Risk Assessment (PRRA) will be

provided on the same consolidated protection grounds, and coordinated with CIC

removal priorities. Pursuant to the Geneva Convention, serious criminals, security

risks, and members of organized crime groups will be excluded from consideration

of refugee protection grounds. Their PRRA will be limited to risk of torture and cruel

and unusual punishment.

Linking the PRRA and the removal process will allow for expeditious -yet fair -

treatment of all removal cases. This will ensure that no one will be sent to a

situation of risk to life or cruel and unusual punishment in their country of

nationality.

Six month bar on repeat claims

If a person returns to Canada after removal, they will not be allowed to reapply for

refugee status for six months following removal. Prior to the six months, previously

refused claimants would continue to have the option of seeking protection at any

Canadian mission abroad. Persons who return to Canada after six months may

apply for a pre-removal risk assessment but they are not able to re-access the

refugee protection system of the IRB.

Criminals will be barred from the Refugee Protection System

The new Legislation clarifies inadmissibility criteria to ensure that serious

criminals, terrorists, human rights violators and security risks will be barred from

access to the refugee determination system and promptly removed from Canada.

David Irving's Reply to

Jeffrey Shallit's "Lies of Our

Times"

London,

[ ]

Dear Professor Shallit,

I am not a subscriber to the Internet, but over the last few

months I have heard repeatedly about scurrilous materials

which you have been posting on that medium; at least you

have had the courage to put your name to them as author,

although this lays you open to the kind of lawsuit which I have

started conducting–and winning–here in the British courts.

I have so far seen versions of your Shallit's Report, and of your

"Lies of Our Times." You appear to be interested in the Truth,

and that being so I am making these comments to assist you

in the search for that elusive quantitй.

It appears that your primary source is a handout or handouts

of the Wiener Library (Dr David Cesarini) and of the Board of

Deputies of British Jews, who have furnished the League of

Human Rights of the B'nai Brith Canada with two lengthy

secret reports which are the subject of dispute between me

and the Board under both the Data Protection Act 1984 (the

Board at first denied having any data on me), and the

Defamation Act 1952 (the Board's solicitor is negotiating with

me for permission to withdraw the reports in toto, in return for

an undertaking by me not to pursue the matter in the courts).

First, your "article" Lies of Our Times (forgive the quotation

marks, but as you call me an "historian" it seems justified).

David Irving

David John Cawdell Irving is a British "historian", born in

1938.

* Correct.

According to David Cesarani of the Wiener Library in London,

England, he attended Imperial College at the University of

London, but never graduated. He holds no academic degree

and no academic position at any university or college.

* Correct. The same can be said for Winston S.

Churchill, Thomas Babington Macaulay (The

History of England), and the Gibbon who wrote

The Decline Fall of the Roman Empire, etc.

Would you denigrate them as "historians" too?

He calls himself a "moderate fascist",

* Incorrect. Please produce the source of this

spurious and libellous allegation.

and claims, among other things that the gas chambers at

Auschwitz (in which an estimated 2-3 million people died)

were "built by the Poles after the war as a tourist attraction."

* Not quite correct. I stated (on April 21, 1990 and

other occasions): "The gas chamber which is

shown to the tourists in Auschwitz is a dummy

(Atrappe) built after the war by the Polish

communists as a tourist attraction." In 1990, Dr

Franciszek Piper, the then director of the Auschwitz

State Museum Archives, confirmed that this is

true. As recently as 1995 the present directors

confirmed in an interview with Eric Conan, of the

well-known liberal French weekly L'Express, that

the gas chamber shown to the tourists was

constructed on the orders of the Polish communist

government in 1948. "Tout y est faux," reported

Conan, and the deputy chief of the site stated:

"Pour l'instant, on la laisse en l'йtat et on ne

prйcise rien au visiteur. C'est trop compliquй. On

verra plus tard" (L'Express, January 26, 1995).

(For this remark, he was fined DM 10,000 by a Munich court in

May 1992.

* Correct. On January 13, 1993 the fine was

increased to DM30,000 in view of my refusal to

retract the statement. (Why should I? It was true). In

addition, on July 1, 1993 I was permanently

banned from setting foot in the German Federal

Archives, which had benefited over the years from

my donations of half a ton of archival material

including the diaries of Canaris, Himmler,

Rommel, etc., which I had located, and which they

have now had to relinquish to me; and on

November 13, 1993 I was permanently banned

from Germany. How's that for freedom of speech!

The judge was quoted as saying that the gas chambers of

Auschwitz were "an historically certain fact.")

* Correct. The word used is offenkundig, and is

used in German law to deny defence lawyers the

introduction of any defence exhibits or witnesses,

e.g. the aforementioned Dr Franciszek Piper whom

we were prepared to call. There has been an

outcry in the German legal profession against

these methods, and Germany is to face a rebuke

from the United Nations for her repression of

freedom of opinion by such means. Of course, if

you believe they are correct to adopt such tactics,

such is your right.

Irving denies being a "Holocaust denier" or "Hitler apologist",

and seems willing to resort to legal action if necessary.

* Correct. Last year one of Britain's biggest Sunday

newspapers was forced to pay me substantial

damages after they printed such a libel. I issued a

Libel Writ in the High Court. (For legal reasons,

namely the settlement agreed, I am not permitted

to identify the newspaper or the amount, except off

the record). I am currently pursuing Libel action in

the British courts against The Observer, Deborah

Lipstadt, (whose odious little tract has been

foolishly published here, i.e. within the jurisdiction,

by Penguin UK Ltd) and Svenska Dagbladet. You

have been warned!

In a recent fax printed in the K-W Record, he is reported as

saying, "I have warned 22 British newspapers that I shall not

hesitate to commence libel action if they use smear phrases

such like 'Hitler apologist' or 'Holocaust denier' to embellish

their writings." But Bernard Levin, writing in The Times of

London in May of this year, quoted Irving as saying, "I hope

the court will fight a battle for the German people and put an

end to the blood lie of the Holocaust which has been told

against this country for 50 years."

Irving first entered the headlines in 1970.

* Incorrect. Ever since 1963 my books have been

the subject of wide comment and much praise in

the British media.

In July of that year, he was forced to apologize in the High

Court of London for "making a wholly untrue and highly

damaging statement about a woman writer."–not an

auspicious start for someone who claims to be in pursuit of the

truth.

* Correct. A Sunday Express journalist, Jill –,

stated that Rolf Hochhuth, the German playwright

and one of my closest friends had granted her an

exclusive interview. Hochhuth assured me he had

not even spoken to her. I mentioned this in a letter

to the newspaper's editor. She sued. As I was

fighting the hideously costly PQ.17 Libel Action at

the time, I had no alternative but to settle out of

court– "shortening the front," is what military

commanders call such action. Make of that what

you will. Nothing has been heard of that

"journalist" since.

Later that year, Irving was back in the headlines, concerning

publication of his book, "The Destruction of Convoy PQ17".

Ostensibly an expose of an ill-fated 1942 Arctic convoy

headed for the Soviet Union during World War II, it eventually

resulted in Irving being fined 40,000 British pounds for libel.

* Incorrect. In actions for Libel–a tort–the defendant

is not fined, but can be required to pay damages.

The book was published by Simon Schuster and

other leading pubishers around the world. Not bad

for an "historian", eh?

Irving's book faulted Captain John Broome, commander of the

convoy at the time, saying he was guilty of "downright

disobedience" and "downright desertion of the convoy."

* Incorrect. No such allegations or quotations are

contained within the book.

Broome brought suit against Irving for false statements, and

won a judgment in August of 1970. Irving's lawyers appealed,

and lost in March, 1971.

* Correct. We then appealed to the House of Lords,

twice, and lost 4-to-3,which is a pretty close call.

Needless to say the insurers of Cassell Co Ltd,

the British publishers, would not have authorised

such defence actions had their counsel not studied

all the documents available and concluded that we

had a powerful defence, based on the Admiralty

records; this they in fact did, and wrote Opinions to

that effect. Libel actions in Britain are tried by jury.

Make of that what you will.

The case is revealing because of what it says about Irving's

abilities as a historian and his motives as an author.

According to The Times of London, Irving showed a copy of

the manuscript to Broome before publication.

* Correct. I showed the late Captain Broome the

mansucript in 1966, and he agreed to read it and

make comment (as did a score of other officers

involved); breaking his undertaking, he alone

decided not to co-operate, but to wait for

publication and then sue for profit. So be it.

Broome objected to the accuracy of some thirty passages in

the book, and threatened to sue for libel if Irving did not make

changes.

* Incorrect. He objected in reality to six words

("Captain Broome was a broken man"), and after

these words were expunged, years later, his

lawyers permitted the book's republication by

William Kimber Ltd.

At that point, William Kimbers Ltd., Irving's publisher, notified

him that they would not publish the book as it was then

written.

* Incorrect. I was in dispute with William Kimber

after they paid me only J67 instead of the agreed

fee of J200 for translating the book, The Memoirs

or Field-Marshal Wilhelm Keitel. This being so, I

removed the PQ17 manuscript physically from

their offices; Kimber's secretary came running

down the street after me, pleading for me to return

it. I keep a very detailed diary of events. In court,

Kimber, already probably suffering from the

Parkinsonism from which he later died, gave a

totally different version, namely yours; he later

apologised to me, which did not assist me much of

course. Unfortunately, our counsel elected to call

no witnesses in the case but to rest securely on the

Admiralty documents.

Later, Irving published the book with another publisher.

The court found that Irving "was warned from most

responsible quarters that his book contained libels on Captain

Broome ... To make [the book] a success he was ready to risk

libel actions ... Documentary evidence .... showed that [Irving]

had deliberately set out to attack Captain Broome and in spite

of the most explicit warnings persisted in his attack because it

would help sell the book." The court labeled Irving's conduct

as "outrageous and shocking."

Irving's misrepresentations did not end with the publication of

his book. According to Cesarani, in 1979 a German publisher

had to pay compensation to the father of Anne Frank after

printing the German edition of Irving's book, Hitler's War. Irving

had claimed that Anne Frank's diary was a forgery.

* Correct as written. Without consulting me, the

Ullstein Verlag publishing firm, part of the

pro-Israeli Axel Springer Group) made some

unspecified payment to Otto Frank at his demand. I

had already halted production and publication of

the book for other reasons (tampering by Ullstein

with my text). The German Bundeskriminalamt

found that parts of the diary had been written in

(post-war) ballpoint ink-paste, which made its

authenticity problematic. My opinion on it now is

ambivalent: it is unimportant, not a historical

document of any value.

Irving claims that according to his "research", the Holocaust is

greatly exaggerated.

* Correct. I think the figures have been magnified

by an Order of Magnitude. Events in Auschwitz

alone suggest that I am right:: here the figure has

been effortlessly brought down from 4 million to 1

million, and now to even less.

(He was recently quoted in the K-W Record as saying that the

number of Jews who died in concentration camps was "of the

order of 100,000 or more.")

* Incorrect. Do you really believe all the

newspapers say? I may have said "killed", not

"died".

But during the 1988 trial of pro-Nazi publisher Ernst Zundel,

he was forced to admit under cross-examination that he hadn't

even read all of Eichmann's 1960 trial testimony. (In this

testimony, Eichmann admitted that Nazi leaders discussed

the so-called "Final Solution to the Jewish

problem"–extermination, in 1942.)

* Incorrect. I have Eichmann's manuscript

memoirs, given to me in Buenos Aires in

November 1991. He states that to him Final

Solution always meant the Madagascar Solution.

Anyway, do you really want to base your case on

the utterances of a Nazi war criminal?

In November 1991, a reporter from The Independent showed

that Irving omitted crucial lines from a translation of Goebbels'

diaries–lines that would have contradicted his theory that

Hitler knew nothing about the extermination of the Jews.

* Incorrect. Which "crucial lines" am I supposed to

have omitted?

Irving's record is clear: he is not an historian, and he has

made false statements and been forced to apologize for them.

As Andrew Cohen, reporter for the Financial Post, has said,

"David Irving should be denied credibility."

* Well, that really wants to make me hang up my

shingle: namely, that a shyster from a money-rag

doesn't believe me. What a waste of kilobytes,

when there are megabytes of reputable historians

saying precisely the opposite about me.

Yours sincerely,

David Irving

Irving quotes in the preceding letter.

LIES OF OUR TIMES

by Jeffrey Shallit

How the Words of the Holocaust Deniers and Their Allies

Show Them For What They Are

1. Background

Canada has a long tradition of tolerance and multiculturalism.

That's why many residents of the K-W area were shocked and

saddened to learn that a stereo store on King Street in

Kitchener was displaying posters advertising a talk by David

Irving, a self-described historian who says that the estimates

of six million Jews killed by the Nazis during World War II are

greatly exaggerated. Inside the store, according to the K-W

Record, one can find for sale a book by Fred Leuchter that

claims that the gas chambers at Auschwitz were never used

for mass killing. After local protests, the store owner retaliated

by putting up posters about the banking system based on the

writings of anti-Semite Eustace Mullins. Subsequently, these

posters were taken down by the store owner, but one explicitly

anti-Semitic flyer still remains. The Kitchener-Waterloo

Record recently carried a letter to the editor by Paul Fromm,

director of "Canadian Association for Free Expression, Inc.".

This letter defended neo-Nazi publisher Ernst Zundel, saying,

"Zundel was dragged through the courts for nine years ...

MERELY for his UNPOPULAR views." [emphasis mine]

Who are Michael Rothe, David Irving, Fred Leuchter, Eustace

Mullins, and Paul Fromm, and what do they stand for?

2. Michael Rothe

Michael Rothe is the owner of European Sound Imports, at

109 King Street W. in Kitchener. According to the K-W Record,

he is a native of southern Germany, who came to Canada

eight years ago. His stereo store might appear harmless on

the outside, but on the inside, one can obtain anti-Semitic

propaganda from a variety of sources. According to the

Record, in addition to the book by Fred Leuchter mentioned

above, one can also purchase a booklet on the court battles of

pro-Nazi publisher Ernst Zundel. Rothe also believes that the

Holocaust has been greatly exaggerated, and that there is a

world-wide Jewish conspiracy behind it. "They want money.

When they have money they have power," he has been

quoted as saying. Although Rothe has claimed, "I have not

seen a neo-Nazi before," according to the Record, he attended

a recent "victory party" for Ernst Zundel, and Zundel was

recently sighted at his store. When I asked Rothe if he knew

what Irving would speak on, he claimed, "Irving comes to

speak on Germany ... only Germany." When I pointed out that

this was false, that Irving actually spends a significant portion

of his speeches discussing how the Holocaust is a hoax, he

repeated, "No, that is wrong – Irving only speaks about

Germany." However, the posters Rothe himself has put up

belie this claim–they list the Holocaust as a topic of Irving's

speech.
