I don't think it is "You must go to the court." If you don't want, you simply don't go. That's all. c-6 just give people right to go to the court.Coffee1981 said:I am absolutely all-in favour of some form of doing revocations better, but this is a total windfall for the lawyer-lobby, and forces people to take their cases to court when they might not want to or be able to afford it. It's for the rich.
You have to go. There's no legislative mechanism in that amendment allowing someone not to. That's why it's flawed. The Minister can only choose to not proceed. Only the court can revoke someone's citizenship under this model. Re-read it if you don't believe me.richard1234 said:I don't think it is "You must go to the court."

Let me know if my understanding is wrong. It entirely depends on citizen whether they want to go to court or not. The person (victim) has to request to go to the court. And if minister is not satisfied, he shall forward the case to the court.Coffee1981 said:You have to go. There's no legislative mechanism in that amendment allowing someone not to.

Re-read it. The minister is only able to not proceed on cases if they are satisfied that sufficient humanitarian grounds exist, or to revoke if they are unable to find the person in the world. Only the court will have the authority to revoke someone's citizenship. So, therefore, if the individual wants to admit to their wrong doing and not make a big deal of the matter, they can't. There's no legislative mechanism.richard1234 said:Let me know if my understanding is wrong. It entirely depends on citizen whether they want to go to court or not.

(3.1) The person may, within 60 days after the day on which the notice is received,
(b) request that the case be referred to the Court.
(4.1) The Minister shall refer the case to the Court under subsection 10.1(1) if the person has made a request pursuant to paragraph (3.1)(b) unless the person has made written representations pursuant to paragraph (3.1)(a) and the Minister is satisfied
Confused in Montreal said:Oh God!! Guys just stop, either find or create another thread. I am sure you are the best at what you do profession wise, but please keep discussion to the progress of the bill rather than irrelevant analyses. If it has to happen, it will happen. Don't cry over the milk that you didn't spill. You must have figured out by now that we are powerless and worthless, so chill.
Yes its done and the bill passed but we were waiting to make it a surprise for you!noba el king said:So the 3rd reading done?
