  1. This issue is of importance to ALL naturalized Canadians and non-citizen Canadian residents, no matter what their ethnic or national origin. If the rights of ANY Canadian citizen or resident under the Charter are violated by the IGA or enabling legislation, the rights of ALL Canadian citizens are at risk from the precedent being set. This goes far beyond so-called US persons resident in Canada and their spouses and families. I have made that point repeatedly to the federal party leaders and the MPs to whom I have written on this issue; it is important that we all keep hammering that point.
