I raised those two examples to show the government what was going wrong with the system today. The issue here is how they are being dealt with and the inappropriateness of the language. The fact is that despite promises from the government to cease these practices and retrain processing officers these inappropriate practices continue.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5617118\" data-originallang=\"en\"> What steps will the government take to ensure that it stops once and for all, not just for these two cases but for all applicants?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5617119\" data-originallang=\"en\">We can all understand the importance of ensuring that marriages are legitimate and not of convenience or coercion. We should also be able to agree that this can be determined in a respectful manner. That is what Canadians expect.</p>",
