I believe this significantly oversteps what this bill was intended to do. I think this gives a significant new power to the ministry to override our citizenship process. It actually decouples the principle that we should be letting public servants follow the process that we put in place in a very arm's-length and neutral fashion.
I'm sure the government will want to pass this, but I'm very concerned, and I think a lot of Canadians will be concerned, that should this come into force, it would actually politicize our immigration system to a significant extent.
