Stop Legal Aid Ontario cuts for Refugees. On April 11th, the Government of Ontario instructed Legal Aid Ontario to stop all provincial funding to refugee and immigration services, as a part of a 30% cut to the province ‘s legal aid budget. Days later, Legal Aid Ontario discontinues all immigration and refugee services, with extremely limited exceptions. While reminding the Province of Ontario of its funding obligations, we ask that the Government of Canada act now to guard a...gainst the serious and irreversible effects of these cuts by: 1. Pausing the removals for individuals who need legal aid, but cannot access it because of the legal aid crisis in Ontario. 2. Urgently work with the Province of Ontario to find a new funding formula for legal services to end the legal aid crisis. This is a crisis that puts people’s lives and liberty at risk. Canadians are fortunate to live in a country shaped, over the centuries, by the dreams and hard work of millions of immigrants who have helped shaped core values of this country: fairness, justice, diversity. The Government of Ontario’s recent cuts to legal aid services to immigrants and refugees stand in conflict with these principles. See more
