People immigrating to Canada, new Canadian citizens, and Canadian citizens in general should be entitled to prompt service from their government in providing the much needed permanent resident cards or citizenship cards or proofs of citizenship. They should not have to pay through cost-recovery fees for a service that is unacceptably and unnecessarily delayed. This is not the way to introduce new Canadians to our country.
There is no escape from what everyone knows: if you want to get the job done, you must provide the required resources. These cuts will ensure that the Sydney centre will not be able to get the job done.
Thank you.
