The talk will examine the reasons behind General Idi Amin\u2019s decision to expel Uganda\u2019s small but dynamic Asian community and the Trudeau government\u2019s reaction to the expulsion within a new Immigration and refugee policy framework.\u00a0 It will describe how a small, hastily assembled team went to Kampala in September 1972 and moved over 6000 refugees to Canada by the 8 November deadline imposed by the Ugandan government. Finally it will examine the impact of the Ugandan experience\u00a0on the refugee resettlement provisions of the 1976 Immigration Act and on the subsequent Indochinese refugee program of 1979-80.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Mike Molloy<\/strong>, a retired Foreign Service Officer, is president of the Canadian Immigration Historical Society and a Senior Fellow at the University of Ottawa\u2019s Graduate School of Public and International Affairs. He was a member of the team sent to Uganda in 1972 in September 1972 where he managed the unit that interviewed the refugees. His subsequent career included implementing the refugee provisions of the 1976 Immigration Act, including the refugee sponsorship program, coordinating the 1979-80 Indochinese Refugee movement, and managing Canada\u2019s relations with the UN High Commissioner for Refugee in Geneva. He held various Director General level positions in the Immigration department , was Ambassador to Jordan, coordinated Canada\u2019s Middle East Peace Process activities and since retirement has co-directed the Jerusalem Old City Initiative at the University of Windsor.
