There are typo and formatting errors, and for those reasons alone, I do not support this proposal.
I can discuss my other issues with this proposal when those errors have been remedied, though.

Can you do both? What typos? Also the format is fine, it's our standard format.

Formatting issue:
Bullet 3 is not centered but bullet 1 and 2 are.
Typo issue:
(2) Any person who, in any matter regarding the a Criminal Review, knowingly or recklessly, falsifies a material fact shall be guilty of fraud.
Additionally, when we propose legislation, can we explain why the legislation is needed? Not sure the relevance of this proposal.

This means that if you lie at all you could be charged with fraud. It doesn't matter whom to.

I agree to what you are saying, but have you remedied the original issues I had with the legislation?
RE: Amendment to the Criminal Code Act (September 2020) - Domais - 09-03-2020
I fixed the typo.

It is hard to tell since you edited the post without stating what you changed!
RE: Amendment to the Criminal Code Act (September 2020) - Domais - 09-03-2020
Can you just read it? Is it that hard? I fixed the typo, you know where the typo was seeing you are the one that mentioned it.

Section 6. Fraud
(1) Any person who, knowingly or recklessly, falsifies a material fact in any matter regarding a citizenship application shall be guilty of fraud.

[/cell][/table](1) Any person who, knowingly or recklessly, falsifies a material fact in any matter regarding a citizenship application shall be guilty of fraud.

My suggestions. I fixed a few things, and this flows better. Section 3 does not need a multitude specified. If you commit the offense, you commit the offense. The number of counts can be something for a prosecutor to decide.
