An unidentified man arbitrarily decided that the young man had not sworn the oath even though the September 2011 directive stipulating that a candidate had to be seen swearing the oath was removed following Judge Boswell's ruling. The family was a victim of the discriminatory abuses instituted by Conservative ministers of citizenship and immigration and applied capriciously during citizenship ceremonies.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4156135\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I am asking the <a data-HoCid=\"194611\" href=\"/politicians/chris-alexander/\" title=\"Chris Alexander\">Minister of Citizenship and Immigration</a> to make reparations to the family by apologizing formally in writing no later than June 23, 2015, on behalf of the Government of Canada for the needless and unjust harm done to them by this whole situation.</p>",

Un homme non identifi\u00e9 a jug\u00e9 arbitrairement que ce jeune n'avait pas prononc\u00e9 le serment, alors que la directive de septembre 2011 qui stipulait qu'un candidat devait \u00eatre vu pronon\u00e7ant le serment avait \u00e9t\u00e9 enlev\u00e9e \u00e0 la suite de la d\u00e9cision du juge Boswell. Cette famille a subi les d\u00e9rives discriminatoires instaur\u00e9es par les ministres conservateurs de la Citoyennet\u00e9 et de l'Immigration, appliqu\u00e9es sans discernement lors des c\u00e9r\u00e9monies d'assermentation. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4156135\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Je demande au <a data-HoCid=\"194611\" href=\"/politicians/chris-alexander/\" title=\"Chris Alexander\">ministre de la Citoyennet\u00e9 et de l\u2019Immigration</a> de faire r\u00e9parations aupr\u00e8s de cette famille en pr\u00e9sentant formellement des excuses par \u00e9crit, et au plus tard le 23 juin 2015, au nom du gouvernement du Canada pour les torts inutiles et injustes que toute cette situation a caus\u00e9 \u00e0 cette famille. </p>"
