To carry on, many of the non-profits who work with the newcomer community, such as the Canadian Bar Association, have noted that this language is vague. A clear definition of public interest is needed. Stakeholders have noted that as this power defines procedural fairness, it increases the precarity of already vulnerable classes of newcomers and would open the door to discrimination for all future governments, especially as it introduces the ability to target restrictions of applications to certain foreign nationals.
