Yes, thanks, Mr. Opitz.
The “inadmissible family member” proposal includes two elements: it is, first, to facilitate the temporary entry of foreign nationals who have accompanying family members who are inadmissible under certain provisions of IRPA; and second, it's to restrict the temporary entry of foreign nationals who have non-accompanying family members who are inadmissible on security grounds. What we're making here are some subtle changes.
For example, you're a family—let's say in India—hoping to visit Canada, come to a family wedding, and it turns out that one member of the family has a medical condition that might represent an excessive burden on the Canadian health care system. Right now, we would look at that application and because it is a group and one of them is inadmissible, they all are inadmissible. This new power will allow us to sever the inadmissible individual and say, “I'm sorry, but you're medically inadmissible”, but say to the other folks, “You're welcome to come into Canada”. That facilitates the entering into Canada of people who are not a problem.
