First of all, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our witnesses for coming and providing their input to this important legislation we are going through.
First, my question is either for Christopher or Tamra from the Canadian Bar Association. I read your submission. In your brief, you called for more flexibility in determining an applicant's ties to Canada rather than strictly relying on strict measures of physical delays. I certainly support flexibility and don't believe in unnecessarily onerous and lengthy residency requirements, but would giving citizenship judges more subjectivity here not open the door to potential uneven applications of the Canadianization demonstration, with standards varying from judge to judge?
