SUBJECT LINE: Bill C-3 Constitutional, Procedural, and Public-Interest Failures

Minister Diab,

I am writing to express serious and urgent concerns about Bill C-3, a bill that threatens the integrity of Canadian citizenship, undermines national identity, and was advanced through Parliament on a foundation of legal ambiguity, political haste, and procedural negligence.

You are already aware that Bill C-3 is being justified on the basis of the Bjorkquist et al. v. Attorney General of Canada ruling (2023 ONSC 7152). What Canadians have not been told is this:
Bjorkquist was not a Supreme Court or appellate decision; it came from a single judge of the Ontario Superior Court.

The ruling declared the first-generation limit unconstitutional and suspended invalidity for six months, which expired in June 2024 and was extended FIVE times since then.

The government had clear options: appeal, seek clarification, or submit a reference to the Supreme Court, these are the established processes when dealing with questions of national policy, citizenship, and constitutional rights.

Instead, the government chose not to appeal, creating artificial urgency and using the suspended deadline as political pressure to force a rushed bill through Parliament.

This was a political choice, not a legal necessity. Other governments have appealed similar lower-court rulings to ensure clarity and stability as seen in Carter, Truchon, and other major constitutional cases. The refusal to appeal Bjorkquist abandoned that principle and set the stage for the legislative chaos now unfolding.

Because of that failure, Bill C-3 is being rammed through with limited debate, overturned amendments, shallow committee hearings, and virtually no opportunity for Canadians to understand the consequences. Even the Senate has acknowledged the government’s pattern of exploiting court deadlines to bypass sober second thought.

Beyond procedural misconduct, the substance of Bill C-3 is deeply flawed:
1. It opens the door to chain migration, enabling citizenship claims from people with no real connection to Canada, simply because an ancestor spent a short period here decades ago.
2. It devalues Canadian citizenship by extending automatic eligibility to those with no meaningful ties or obligations to the country.
3. Reasonable amendments requiring language proficiency, security screening, or even a recent, demonstrable connection to Canada were rejected.
4. It embeds a post-national ideology that strips away any notion of core Canadian identity or responsibility.
5. It expands IRCC’s discretionary power while simultaneously reducing the standards for citizenship acquisition.
6. It creates new “lost Canadians” by destabilizing existing statuses and introducing a vague, abusable “substantial connection” test.
It imposes enormous future costs on Canadians through new administrative burdens, litigation, and generational claims.

This is not responsible lawmaking. It is a radical restructuring of Canadian citizenship disguised as a remedy for a narrow court ruling.

The responsibility for this bill, its legal fragility, its rushed process, its ideological overreach, and its long-term consequences rests with those who choose to advance it. Canadians deserve clarity, not chaos; stability, not experimentation; and competent governance, not political theatre.

You now have full knowledge of the constitutional, procedural, and societal consequences of Bill C-3. If you continue to support this bill in its current form, you will be knowingly endorsing a measure that weakens citizenship, destabilizes Canada’s identity, and harms the very people you were elected to serve. Advancing it anyway would be a betrayal of your duty and of Canadians themselves. You are now on notice.

Respectfully,

[Your Name], Concerned Canadian
