Since 9/11 there have been many changes to the external environment of Canadian immigration, a number of criticisms of current immigration policy in Canada, and several proposals for dealing with current labour market needs and settlement patterns of immigrants to Canada. In "Canadian Immigration Policy for the 21st Century" authors examine the issues raised by these concerns.The topics covered include international context and immigration policy goals, the role of immigration in meeting Canada's demographic and labour market needs, decentralization of immigration policy with special focus on the Quebec perspective and the recent Manitoba experience, policy responses to increasing international labour mobility, immigration data resources in Canada, the changing immigrant experience in the labour market including issues of skill recognition and the effects of business cycles on labour market integration, and social inclusion of immigrants, including the health of immigrant children and visible minority enclaves in major Canadian cities.The contributors include: Michael Abbott (Queen's University), Naomi Alboim (Queen's University), Roderic Beaujot (University of Western Ontario), David Card (University of California at Berkeley), Barry Chiswick (University of Illinois at Chicago), Gerry Clement (Manitoba Labour and Immigration Department), Don DeVoretz (Simon Fraser University), Erwin Diewert (University of British Columbia), Victoria Esses (University of Western Ontario), Alan Green (Queen's University), Gilles Grenier (University of Ottawa), and, Violet Kaspar (University of Toronto).

Richard Bedford Bennett was Canada's eleventh prime minister and head of a majority government during the Great Depression. Defeated in 1935, he lived the rest of his life in England and is the only deceased Canadian prime minister not buried on Canadian soil. For most Canadians, the Bennett story ends upon his leaving Canada in 1939. But, as this book shows, Bennett's career was far from over. Summoned to the British House of Lords in 1941 by King George VI, Bennett, now Viscount Bennett, took part in some of the crucial debates of the Second World War and lent his voice to discussions in Parliament at Westminster as the United Kingdom and British Empire and Commonwealth prepared for the post-war years. He served in the Lords until his death in 1947, continuing his fight for the Canadian autonomy that he had done so much to establish as prime minister in Ottawa. With a foreword by former Prime Minster John Turner, the book includes contributions from R.B.'s nephew, William R. Herridge, and David Asper, chair of the National Post.
