Because high points implies that their skills could be 300's pre sibling points. If they get 600 points they will get an ITA. That means they are low skilled which increases the possibility that they won't contribute to society.
You mean to say anyone who gets 600 points and has the points in 300s won't contribute in society. I can not understand the logic. The country needs all types of people, they need cooks, janitors, doctors, scientists etc. Don't expect 400 points or more from everyone, as that is not possible. The economic migrant doesnt always need to be a PHD and scholar.

I said possibility. Low skills means low skills. It means they so far haven't proven in their home countries they have enough work experience or education.

A huge boost like 600 points for siblings doesn't instantly make them skilled or anymore likely to become skilled in Canada.

As per the election agenda, the sibling has been included in the family reunification. Presently, there are already established streams for both spouse and parents / grandparents. If the minister is saying to create new stream, may mean change in family reunification stream and could include siblings in that.
No - this was never promised in the election agenda. The two main commitments the Liberals made related to the family sponsorship stream was to remove conditional PR for spousal sponsorships and to increase the dependent age back from 18 to 21. You can see the rest here:

The only commitment related to siblings in the election agenda was to grant sibling points under Express Entry.

Check:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/publications/rpp/2016-2017/
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/publications/annual-report-2015/
the extract is as follows:
Reuniting Families
Immigration has always been important to Canada’s economic growth. Reuniting families helps immigrants build successful lives in Canada and contributes to the economic success of all Canadians. Reuniting families will be a top priority for the Government of Canada moving forward. To do so, investments will be made to family class processing. The Government will also seek to provide more opportunities for applicants who have Canadian siblings by giving additional points under the Express Entry system. The maximum age for dependent children will be increased to 22 from 19, allowing more Canadians and permanent residents to bring their children to Canada. The Government will also move towards granting immediate permanent residency to new spouses entering Canada, thereby eliminating the conditional two-year waiting period.
Which means, they might propose a new stream.

When you are looking at other initiatives their status is ongoing like refugee re-settlement but fostering family reunification is a new stream which points core priority in Liberals plan,which is not stated "ongoing" to any of the objectives in family reunification category.

This I can agree with but it seems people like OP want an automatic PR just for having a sibling.
I'm fine with people with siblings getting PR. They just shouldn't interfere with Express Entry, which is a prgram for skill-based economic migration.

For instance, the international students are 10 time the french speakers, then they should be given 30x10 = 300 points, and if 30 times more, than 30x30 = 900 (but the slab is 600 at most) so 30x30 = 600. Additional point should also not exceed 600, which means if an international student is sibling and francophone, then he / she can not accumulate all the points, which could be more than 600. For instance, if a candidate is sibling, student, french speaker and gets pnp then his additional score would be 600+300 +300+30 = 1230, but the slab is 600 maximum, so the candidate will be given only 600. Cheers to all siblings and francophone. :p
I think someone can accumulate all the bonus points proposed because it's not the latter's fault if he/she had Canadian education, French and sibling.

That's why 600 bonus were not awarded for students and 600 bonus will not be awarded neither for other reforms as the accumulation might exceed the limit.

They will do but they might put some conditions , like
(purely a guess)
1.Only one sibling and that sibling cannot support another one for certain period like supporting another brother or sister.
2.Young,Unmarried(because of aging population ).
3.Only economic numbers( another separate pool or something like that).

Actually, on ee one can get more than 600 if he gets job and pnp. So, they have put limit to maximum . If you have ever checked the whole crs calculator there are many basis of point distribution when a person exceeds maximum points in that section, so the limit has been put to contain the score within 1200, which is highest.

In Canada, initially you don't get your dream job instantly by showing your CRS card. You have to earn the jobs after a long course struggle. Few people are happy with ordinary jobs like working in mc donald and restaurants, even doctors and engineers do that. Everyone has to start from scratch, so no point being more efficient economic migrant due to the criterion set in ee.

You're missing my point, and I assume I'm missing yours. Calling it quits.

Let's wait this week or before end of year. Another gazette notice might come. Students and LMIA came together as it was clear that it was dealt together as according to speech, every time students were mentioned, there were talks on LMIA together with it.

That's why I think that French and siblings will come in separate gazette notices.

Its reducing barriers for CEC as it was already on party agenda.

I tell you that siblings have always been coming to Canada before EE. They had never been much in number. Even before EE, they were being given 5 more points than other. As far as your guess is concerned, I think first may be implemented, but second may not because if someone is married than he would probably be accompanied by very young kids, thirdly all siblings are economical migrants in the pool.

That is a different thing and not related to Express Entry. It is in parliament with respect to Citizenship.
