Recommendation Recommandation (Pursuant to Standing Order 79(2))
Her Excellency the Governor General recommends to the House of Commons the appropriation of public revenue under the circumstances, in the manner and for the purposes set out in a measure entitled “An Act to amend the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (certificate and special advocate) and to make a consequential amendment to another Act”.

Anyone able to offer any interpretation? No. 1 I can figure out, that will contain some of the Criminal Code ammendments we want to make, but No. 2 really got my attention... anyone have any idea what changes to the Immigration Act are coming down the pipes?

Perhaps related to the anti-terror provisions the Liberals struck down earlier this year? Humm, didn't Bob Rae, the new Foreign Affairs Critic, support retaining those provisions the Liberals defeated? Just wondering...
