Conservatives Urge End To Virtual Citizenship Ceremonies

Conservative MPs, led by Michelle Rempel Garner, urged the Liberal government on Wednesday to end virtual 'one-click' citizenship ceremonies and require in-person oaths now that the pandemic is over. They say in-person ceremonies restore community significance and pointed to polls and a petition calling for a default return to in-person events. The government says virtual ceremonies, introduced in April 2020, helped cut wait times.
