We break down immigration detention and civil liberties as we discuss the case of Ebrahim Toure, Canada's longest-serving immigration detainee, and Bill C-59 (a follow-up to Bill C-51), "An Act respecting national security matters," as it is being debated in the Senate.
Gwen speaks with Mac Scott, a member of No One Is Illegal Toronto and the Caranza LLP Law firm, about his work on Toure's case and the immigration detention regime in Canada.
We hear from Tim McSorley, National Coordinator of the International Civil Liberties Monitoring Group, who spoke with Amelia about Bill C-59, how it grants over-broad surveillance powers to CSIS, and other concerning powers it gives to the Canadian state.
