Submission to the Senate Standing Committee on Bill C-6: an Act to Amend the Citizenship Act

The BCCLA and the Canadian Association of Refugee Lawyers (CARL) made this submission to the Senate Standing Committee on Social Affairs, Science and Technology on Bill C-6: An Act to Amend the Citizenship Act and to make consequential amendments to another act.

In the submission we expressed our support for significant portions of Bill C-6, but called for an additional amendment that would restore the right to an oral hearing for people whose citizenship is being stripped under allegations of misrepresentation.
