Federal ministers Karina Gould and Sean Fraser have unveiled Canada’s new passport designs stripped of previous historical symbols featured in the previous version. They say the reasons for the changes are mostly to prevent counterfeiting and are not politically motivated.
Gould, who is minister of families, children and social development, and Fraser, who is the immigration minister, spoke to reporters about the changes at the Ottawa International Airport on May 10, after revealing the new designs during a press conference.
