艾伯塔省政府已向联邦政府发出书面通知，称其将终止与加拿大边境服务局 (CBSA) 的一项协议，即使用省级惩教中心收容因移民问题而被拘留的人。Alberta’s government has provided written notice to the federal government that it is ending an agreement with the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) to use provincial correctional centres to house people being detained on immigration matters.

这一变化是为了回应人们对使用惩教设施关押未被指控或被定罪的人的担忧。The change comes in response to concerns about using correctional facilities to hold people who haven’t been charged with a criminal offence, nor convicted of one.

“移民立法是联邦政府的责任——照管和监护因移民问题而被拘留的人也应该如此。来到加拿大重新开始和开始新生活的人应该得到更好的欢迎，而不是在整理文书工作的牢房里。这就是为什么我们也呼吁所有省份与我们一起结束这种做法。”“Immigration legislation is the federal government’s responsibility – and the care and custody of people detained on immigration matters should be as well. People who come to Canada for a fresh start and a new life deserve a better welcome than a jail cell while paperwork is sorted out. That is why we are also calling on all provinces to join us in ending this practice.”

目前的移民被拘留者收容协议于 2006 年签署。2020 年 9 月，省政府通知联邦政府其打算于 2021 年 3 月 31 日终止该协议，但随后同意进一步延期，以响应联邦政府的要求.The current agreement to house immigration detainees was signed in 2006. In September 2020, the provincial government notified the federal government of its intention to end the agreement on March 31, 2021, but subsequently agreed to further extensions in response to requests from the federal government.

2022 年 3 月 21 日，省政府批准了联邦政府将当前协议延长至 2023 年 3 月 31 日的请求。2022 年 12 月 22 日通过信函向联邦公共安全部长 Marco Mendicino 发出通知，给予联邦政府额外三个几个月——直到 2023 年 6 月 30 日——为省级设施中的 CBSA 被拘留者做出替代安排。On March 21, 2022, the provincial government granted a federal government request to extend the current agreement until March 31, 2023. Notice provided to federal Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino via letter on Dec. 22, 2022, gives the federal government an additional three months – until June 30, 2023 – to make alternate arrangements for CBSA detainees in provincial facilities.

从 2022 年 4 月 1 日到 2022 年 10 月 31 日，省级设施中的移民被拘留者平均每天有 15 人。 2021-22 年的日均人数为 22 人；在 2020-21 年，日均值为 17。Between April 1, 2022, and Oct. 31, 2022, the number of immigration detainees in provincial facilities has averaged 15 people a day. The daily average in 2021-22 was 22 people; in 2020-21, the daily average was 17.
