Well, all discretionary decisions made by the minister are based on legislation approved by Parliament. In addition, the minister is responsible to Parliament and to Canadians when he exercises that power.
I would remind you that most MPs approach me to use my discretionary power to allow certain foreign nationals into Canada. MPs ask me, for example, to issue temporary residence permits to foreigners who have applied for visas. So MPs want the minister to have some discretionary power. Our proposal is to give the minister the equivalent power to deny entry to Canada to some people under certain circumstances.
