summary: 
The Conservative government wants to give sweeping new powers to immigration officials that could result in applications being rejected even if all the criteria are met.

Critics are concerned that these changes will give too much power to the Minister to make arbitrary changes, at any time, to immigration priorities.

We speak with Janet Dench, executive director of the Canadian Council for Refugees.
