The authority presently exists under section 10 of the immigration and refugee protection regulations to return an application where a representative is not disclosed. It provides that if there is representation for a fee, an application shall include the name of the organization of which the person is a member and their membership number.
So this issue is currently dealt with under regulation. It gives the authority to return applications where the identified representative is not an authorized representative or if an application is suspected to have been submitted by a representative who is not an authorized representative or not disclosed.
There are provisions in the regulations. They'll certainly be amended should Bill C-35 come into effect. They can be strengthened at that time.
I would also like to point out that the amendment as proposed does not specify “for consideration”. That is an additional issue with it.
