Thank you, Mr. Minister.
As you pointed out, what the bill seeks to do here is to establish a clear statutory obligation on foreign nationals who make an application on their IRPA to appear for an immigration security screening interview with CSIS when that is requested by CBSA or CIC.
The purpose of this amendment is to enhance the security and safety of Canadians by ensuring that CBSA and CIC continue to benefit from CSIS's advice.
In terms of your question, CBSA and CIC officials already benefit from CSIS's advice on security screening. We're simply making sure that the obligation to appear for those interviews is clearly set in law.
