I already said long time ago no way they can amend the bill to save Monsef, no matter whether Omidvar is Committee member or not as Cons chair and occupy the Committee as majority.

In Monsef's case, it's not simply about fraud of her identity, but her family's circumstance in Iran. As she was born in a high end hospital in Iran, not refugee camp, so her family's life in Iran actually was very safe and good. Also Iranian laws recognize Afghans who were born in Iran full...

C-6 stopped progressing exactly same time as the file was opened. Hard to say it's just coincidence. http://www.torontosun.com/2016/10/30/a-files-been-opened-on-monsef-sources-say

For refugee claim, country of origin and residency is most decisive factor. It's different from regular PR applications which place of birth is not that important. Monsef really cannot explain a lot of things about her relationship with Iran and there were a lot of conflicts in her statements...

Actually we don't know enough. With the same attitude of IRCC to normal applicants, after this misrepresentation (or discrepancy as you said), her credibility should be really in doubt. The fact she visited Iran many times in past few years, and Canadian citizens and Afghan citizens are almost...

First we need to understand why they changed place of birth? We know they came to Canada during 90s. So what happened in Afghanistan during 90s? Afghan Civil War led to the Taliban control. It's similar to what's happening right now in Syria. So the refugee claims from Afghanistan (as Syria...

http://www.parl.gc.ca/MarleauMontpetit/DocumentViewer.aspx?Sec=Ch08&Seq=7 Prorogation of a Parliament results in the termination of a session. Parliament then stands prorogued until the opening of the next session. Like the summoning and dissolution of Parliament, prorogation is a prerogative...

I guess it's their plan for the next election in 2019. Approve mass new citizens just before the election so they can get votes from them.

Does everyone seriously think they would care about the backlog after C-6? Why would they care?

Because C-6 is not important, it also becomes a test bed for other more important law repealing Libs promised including repealing C-51. Now they messed it up, until C-6 is fixed, I don't think they have the ability to repeal any other more important laws. JT will just become another Obama, had...

More funny is, when McCallum appeared at the Senate for Question Period, he repeated the same phase "open to amendments" again. But when he missed the same promise at the HoC, now it's different story and it's not up to him but up to Conservatives committee chair and members to be open to...

If you missed what happened at the HoC, here it is: http://www.parl.gc.ca/HousePublications/Publication.aspx?Language=e&Mode=1&Parl=42&Ses=1&DocId=8295141 Both NDP Jenny Kwan and Green Party Elizabeth May moved the same amendment, but Libs decided not to be "open to amendments" as McCallum...

It's so funny, from the news: "Omidvar, who moved second reading of C-6 on Tuesday in the upper chamber, said Senate procedural rules are different and she's hopeful the upper house will be able to do what the Commons could not." But the fact is, when Commons (Liberals have majority in both...

Re: Bill C-6 Senate stage Senate in Canada is essential a big tea house, people get paid for life to chat in the house but don't have any noble spirit as it's designed from British origin and are not accountable for any of their actions. Political lottery for anyone who wins to be chosen as a...

Re: Bill C-6 Senate stage "Open to amendments"? Typical hypocrisy! He said the same in HoC many months ago and look what happened? The same amendment proposed by NDP MP Jenny Kwan was rejected because it was "out of scope". They must have so regretted as they now suddenly desperately need the...

Committee members have nothing to do with new Senators. New Senators can only fill the Committee when current Committee members resign or leave or give up their positions.

From the whole campaign, I have to admit Trump is really a smart man. While media tried to make people believe he is a racist, he is actually against uncontrolled, illegal and bad quality immigrants in the name of political correctness, As a smart businessman, I'm confident he will welcome...
