It serves what I call a law enforcement objective to be able to intervene when there's an Amber Alert or to prevent people from leaving the country for terrorism reasons. The bill also gives us the ability to share information for program integrity reasons. Programs that have a residency requirement will be able to share information with IRCC so that they will have a complete file on an individual who's applying for citizenship. They will be able to share information with CRA on those who don't meet the residency requirements for the child tax benefit and OAS.
It serves, as we say in French, a panoplie of objectives that will all be met. It's essentially bringing Canada up to par with our Five Eyes partners and other countries around the world.
