Mr. Speaker, the citizenship bill introduced by the Conservatives would concentrate more power in the hands of the minister.
These include important powers, such as the power to grant and revoke citizenship. Giving the minister these powers opens the door to arbitrary, non-transparent and partisan decision-making.
The Conservatives are saying that the Chief Electoral Officer should not wear a team jersey.
Why, then, are the Conservatives prepared to give the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration the power to be both judge and jury?
