Immigration Minister Lena Diab said she told her department to investigate when she became aware that “something” had happened to trigger a wave of citizenship document recalls.
The minister didn’t say during a Tuesday press conference exactly what problem led to an unknown number of people getting emails last week ordering them to surrender their proof of citizenship.
