Conservatives push for an end to virtual citizenship ceremonies

Conservative Shadow Minister for Immigration Michelle Rempel Garner has renewed calls for the Liberal Government to abandon virtual citizenship ceremonies and return to in-person events. Rempel Garner criticized the current system, where over half of new Canadians take their citizenship oath online, describing it as inadequate for such a significant milestone. She argued that in-person ceremonies represent the unifying foundation of Canadian civic life and should be treated with the same gravity as other life-changing commitments. The Conservatives maintain that restoring traditional ceremonies would help rebuild public confidence in Canada's immigration system, as support has reached historic lows.
