The minister mentioned that the purpose of the bill was to reduce the waiting list of immigration applications. In your opinion, will the bill achieve that objective?
The proposed subsection 87.3(4) states that officers processing an application may "retain, return or otherwise dispose of" that application. That's what's stated in the English version of the bill. Does that mean that we will reject applications without studying them because they don't meet the criteria? Is that how the minister intends to reduce the waiting list?
