According to the report, Canada detains almost 250 children annually. Some of these children are even held in solitary confinement, in breach of international law and the charter. This is a disgrace.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4770449\" data-originallang=\"en\">Will the government finally amend the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and prohibit the detention of children?</p>",

Selon ce rapport, pr\u00e8s de 250 enfants y sont d\u00e9tenus chaque ann\u00e9e. Certains sont m\u00eame mis en isolement cellulaire, ce qui contrevient au droit international et \u00e0 la Charte. C'est tout simplement honteux. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4770449\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le gouvernement va-t-il enfin modifier la Loi sur l'immigration et la protection des r\u00e9fugi\u00e9s afin d'interdire l'emprisonnement des enfants?</p>"
