The Conservatives are asking the Liberal government to end "one-click citizenship" and return all citizenship ceremonies to in-person events.

"Last year over half of the people who became Canadian citizens did so by clicking a box online. That’s crazy," Conservative MP Michelle Rempel Garner said Wednesday.

"There is no way to justify this practice," she said. "With support for immigration at an all-time low, returning to inclusive, nation-building ceremonies is a no brainer."

Describing the in-person citizenship ceremony as the "essential unifying bedrock of Canada’s civic life," Rempel Garner said the move would restore the ceremony’s "community significance."
