OTTAWA, ON, Dec. 18, 2020 /CNW/ - The Honourable Marco E. L. Mendicino, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, the Honourable François-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the Honourable Karina Gould, Minister of International Development, today issued the following statement: For the past two decades, nations around the world have marked International Migrants Day and have used this opportunity to highlight the importance of human rights and the contributions that migrants bring to their new countries. Migrants are key to Canada s economic success and social stability, and throughout this year, they have played important roles, working in our agri-food sector, delivering health care, and contributing in many other ways to help Canada fight the COVID-19 pandemic.
On Global Governance of Migration
In observance of the International Migrants Day, Dec 18
Formalization of global governance requires a set of globally agreed guidelines, a lead agency in charge of implementation, and funding. Discussions on global governance of migration often get drowned in noisy, chaotic discussion of issues. However, the issues to be addressed are well-known. Indeed, they are now well-documented in the Global Compact on Migration. Since the adoption of the GCM in Marrakesh two years ago, the International Organization of Migration (IOM) has become a UN-related agency, well positioned to play the role of the lead agency. A continuing problem is a lack of consensus on a set of globally agreed guidelines on the governance of migration.
