Immigration minister Mr. Alexender
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Quoted XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Hon Minister,
This is refer to your discussion on Power and Politics, when you defended fellow conservative MPs, James Bezan and Shelly Glover in regards to their 2011 election returns and allegations regarding expense over the legal limit in violation of the Elections Act, stating that Elections Canada retroactively revised certain requirements after the returns had been accepted. “. . . That is a principle of Canadian law that is sacrosanct,” said Alexander, “you can't revise things retroactively.”
Really?
What about your Conservative government's decision to terminate the Federal Skilled Worker immigration backlog of nearly 300,000 persons with applications dating as far back as 2004, retroactively? Immigration Minister Jason Kenney has argued that the purpose of eliminating the backlog is to ensure that newcomers meet Canada's current labour market needs and shortages.
Most immigration applicants are indeed concerned with processing timelines and employment opportunities but equally important to them is the certainty of selection. Certainty of selection, if the termination stands, legally and otherwise will be relegated to the scrapheap, replaced by a reality of looming retroactive whenever the perceived need arises.
This legal foundation in my mind is not sustainable as immigration categories will become moving targets like for these applicants who could not know for the past eight years, in some cases, what was going to come of their application. We are already dealing with the long shadow of disturbing Canadian demographics such as a 1.5 per cent declining fertility rate and so despite what some will have you believe, this is a serious blow to the integrity of our immigration system and government.
Integrity is the corner stone of good governance. We must strive to fashion our immigration law in a manner that preserves our international reputation as a country of invitation and openness and, at the same time, promotes economic, social and cultural nation building.
The matter remains in litigation before the Federal Court of Appeal and curiously despite what is at stake, the media spotlight and the contemplation of at least one Conservative parliamentarian has faded. Integrity and sacrosanctness are giving way to governmental administrative efficiency and now armed with a strong legal precedent of repugnant retroactive application in the immigration context Canadians in many aspects of their interaction with government may soon be asking what really is legally sacrosanct?
If a law can be made especially with the intention to apply it retrosepectively then why another law cannot be made to struck that law retrospectively? It is quite clear that 87.4(1) was made and passed in the parliament with prior intention to terminate backlog applications and then explanation was given that backlog applications were being terminated retrospectively according to the law and it was not illegal to do so. It is strange that a court or judge supports the malicious intent of a minister framing and forming a law to apply it retrospectively just to run away from the responsibility! If they can process newer applications, why not older?
You have created the backlog by accepting so many applications yourselves. Why are you now afraid to process the backlogged applicants? Will Canada become poor if just 2,80,000 backlogged applicants will reach Canada? Then why allowing so many refugees in Canada? Will Canada perish by just allowing a few innocent and skilled people because they have become a few years older!!!!! They will bring money to support them, will work, pay taxes, support housing (they may take houses on rent or buy on installments), and support Canadian economy in the long run. Don't see them as burden or competition. They are not threat to Canada or Canadian people or Canadian economy.
You have just made it a prestige issue and made an intention that you will not process the backlogged cases at all! May be due to litigation by some of them! They have challenged you and your ego and the credibilty of your system but that is just because they have lost patience seeing that you are processing the newer cases and ignoring them altogether and they have almost lost all hope.
What about those people who are so innocent that they have not joined the litigation and are still waiting patiently! Your fight can be with the litigants but not with the applicants. There must be many people who are still ready to wait if you assure to clear them in near or distant future. Some may having their last wish to reach Canada before death!
Now the problem is how to clear the backlogs. Engage more staff in different countries and clear all the backlogs! Show your intelligence, strength, and courage with dedication! Do not show your weakness and inability or your cunningness with inhuman tricks with power and force to shirk your responsibility and do not try to prove that it is according to the so called law framed by your malicious intent! The whole world can see through it!
What will they do if there has been a backlog of criminal cases in the court? Will they dismiss all the cases without trial and free all the criminals? Will they give the explanation that just to hear the future cases in a timely manner they have no other choice but to terminate the old cases and free all the criminals? Then why they are doing so with the innocent FSW applicants! Just because that they trusted you and waited patiently for so many years! The Judicial System of Canada must intervene and do the needful to process and clear all the backlog cases with dignity!
If a doctor admits some patients for surgery, takes advance, and assures them of fair and honest treatment and then refuses to give the treatment saying that he cannot treat or operate older patients, but he plans to terminate them or discharge them to leave them to their fate and gives explanation that he is terminating/discharging the older patients so that he may treat the newer patients in a timely manner; what will the law say? Can that doctor be allowed to make a law that the patients admitted before a certain date will be denied diagnosis and treatment and will be terminated? Will the law permit the doctor to do so and run away from his responsibilty and play with the innocent patients' lives like that? Then why a minister or court or judge is allowed to play with the lives of the innocent applicants?
It is unacceptable! because it is Unlawful! Inhuman! Anti-social!!!!! and it is disrespectful for Canada and Canadian Law! Section 87.4(1) must be struck down by Canadian Courts to save respect and grace of Canada and Canadian Law!
Let us see if any one in Canada can see this, accept this, and implement this with honesty!
Let us see if any one in Canada/Canadian government/Canadian Judicial System/CIC is intelligent, strong, and potent enough to support the truth for the sake of humanity and save the integrity and the sacrosanctity of Canadian Immigration System and Government!
Let us see and hope that it is Chris Alexander!!!!!
Then, He will be the real "Alexander the Great!!!!!"
