Okay.
Amend section 91 of IRPA and section 21.1 of the Citizenship Act to ensure that newcomer-serving NGOs are exempted from the harsh penalties, and ensure long-term financial security for newcomer-serving NGOs with professional development opportunities.
Where there is no available legal aid service, a common-sense approach should prevail. Agencies should be able to provide the service if there is no other financially feasible alternative. Acknowledge that it was done to the best of their abilities and in good faith, and if a mistake is made, the newcomer affected by it should be given the opportunity to correct that mistake.
Thank you.
