Whereas the Federal Government, through the Ministry of Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship is ending the contract for Vancouver Community College (VCC) to provide the LINC (Language Instruction for Newcomers) to Canada; and is doing so without appropriate arrangements for the transfer of students to other training providers.
