Req # 1A-2022-65040
Please send me your briefing notes, correspondence and reports on the recent American abortion court rulings and new laws, since May 1, 2022, and its impacts upon Canada - e.g., Americans travelling here for abortions, the new burden on our medical system, changes to the Canada Health Act. [Background - Regarding abortion rights, on June 24, 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court overruled Roe vs Wade in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization. On May 2, 2022, Politico released a leaked first draft of this majority opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito. ] The decision means women living in states with new restrictions on abortion could be forced to travel to Canada to obtain the procedure. Travel to Canada also requires a passport and a vaccine card. Abortion coalitions are calling on Canadian governments to give clinics more funding, saying even a small number of Americans can overwhelm our system. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau hinted Canada could be a destination. Statistics from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada show a fairly steady increase in the number of people from the U.S. who were granted permanent residence in Canada each year since 2015 (when Donald Trump was soon to be elected). So far, 2022 is shaping up to be another banner year: 3,235 applications were approved in the first quarter, the highest total for that three-month period in the past eight years. ]Organization: Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada
