The short answer is that we cannot. The minister is supposed to prepare a report on reducing the minimum income requirement. But there's also the option that the minister does not, and then just reports why they decided not to do it. That's in clause 5, which says, “If, within two years after this Act receives royal assent, the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration does not reduce the minimum income requirement...the Minister must table in each House of Parliament a statement of the reasons for not doing so.”
This was a very challenging bill to draft, as I said, because so much of this relies on ministerial instruction. As well, the minimum income test is also for different types of applications. It was a complicated drafting process. In the end, this was the recommendation that I accepted from the drafters. We're asking the minister to do it, but if not, then explain why not. It's not perfect, but I'm hoping it will accomplish what we want.
