On this date in 1985, the Supreme Court handed down a landmark ruling which has become known as the Singh Decision. The Case involved six refugee claimants from India and one from Guyana, who were not allowed to defend their case in front of a refugee board. Their application for refugee status was refused and so they appealed to the Supreme Court, claiming that their rights were being denied in accordance to Section 7 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Section 7 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms states that everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of persons as well as a right to a fair hearing. The Canadian government claimed that since the refugee applicants were not Canadian they were not protected by the same rights and freedoms. The Supreme Court ruled that refugee claimants in Canada deserve the same standard of justice under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms as Canadian citizens that everyone means everyone, and are entitled to a fair hearing. This decision paved the way for the creation of the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) in 1989 and is the basis for our current Refugee Protection Program. Now, because of the Singh decision, people claiming refugee status have the right to a hearing which they will present themselves in front of the IRB and Canada's government provide these people with the necessities of life while they wait for their hearing. ​ Resolution 49 The Assembly of First Nations called on the Federal Govt to freeze all Immigration until their issues were resolved.
