Interviewed on: CBC, CTV, Radio-Canada International, BBC World Report. Appeared on CBS News program 60 Minutes interviewed by Steven Kroft, Co-Editor of 60 Minutes. The segment was entitled “North of the Border,” Produced by Trevor Nelson. Program and Interview conducted in Ottawa, March 18, 2002. (Rebroadcast: September 7, 2003). When Vancouver’s Fraser Institute published study comparing Canada’s refugee policy with policies found in Europe and elsewhere (December 2003) it was noted and summarized in the National Post along with most of Canada’s regional newspapers, including the Montreal Gazette. The National Post supported the conclusions and recommendations of my study in a lead editorial. In support of the publication, I gave numerous television and radio interviews including an appearance on a panel discussion in Ottawa hosted by Rita Celli as part of a ‘community conversation’ inspired by the then recently broadcast CBC drama on the plight of refugees entitled, Human Cargo. Invited to Speak to Standing Committees of the House of Commons and Senate, Parliament of Canada.
