Public Consultations: Immigration

Border Agreement Dept: But critics are calling the public consultations a sham because they involve a four-question online questionnaire most Canadians don't even know about, according to Montreal Gazette. "That's essentially what this is. And yet this is absolutely about sovereignty. The question is: Why does the government not trust Canadians to find out what they think? Why do they not even trust Parliament? Why is it so secret?" The federal government is pressing ahead with plans to develop a joint Canada-U.S. border agreement on "perimeter security" and is giving Canadians until the end of this week to offer their views on the matter. "The process is entirely flawed when you have a closed-door consultation," NDP foreign affairs critic Paul Dewar said Tuesday. As reported in the news.
