Canadian refugee policy in doubt

BBC World Service - Weekend, Canadian refugee policy in doubt

Doubts in Canada about refugee policy; Australia votes; Pinochet's impact on Chile

Doubts in Canada about its traditionally liberal policy towards refugees.

Also in the programme: Australian voters are at the polls for a general election that could see a sixth prime minister take office within a decade.

And a Chilean novel which examines the enduring impact of the military dictator General Pinochet on the country's psyche.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other stories are Rachel Shabi, British journalist, author, and broadcaster, and Knox Chitiyo, Africa Fellow at the Royal Institute of International Affairs at Chatham House.
