Of course, after the election, the government changed that and Bill C-27 came into play:

Parliament Video: Interview with Jenny: Calling on the federal government to stop penny-pinching low-income seniors!

I have learned, in reviewing the Liberal government's 2019 Budget, that they are trying to sneak in changes to refugee laws in their Budget bill.
