Advocacy Groups: Carl Claim and Government Response

advocacy groups: She said her mother never told she and her sisters they were born in Iran because she did not think it mattered, according to Globe and Mail. The Justice Department says the advocacy groups' motion is similar to another ongoing case, titled Hassouna, which has granted stays of proceedings to about 60 people who have received citizenship revocation notices from the government. Monsef said she only learned that she was born in Iran, not Afghanistan as she had believed, after an inquiry from The Globe last month. The only difference between Hassouna and this motion is that the BCCLA and CARL claim that they should be granted standing to get a stay on behalf of 'those persons who cannot find a lawyer – or who do not know that they should even try,' read the government response. Laura Track, a lawyer with the BCCLA, said her team was blown away by the government response. Even if there was evidence showing there were individuals who received notices but did not have the 'knowledge, resources or skills' to hire a lawyer, that would not justify a wholescale suspension of the operation of law.
