The Monsef case is confusing as the minister did not initially provide misinformation but may have continued to report misinformation even after she understood the truth. It is no small matter to misinform the government on am immigration application.  The government needs serious tools to deal expeditiously with such situations and seems to be considering limiting its ability to respond because one of its own has been caught in a mess of their own making.  The immigration file was for years in chaos because the federal government was outmatched by clever immigration lawyers using loopholes against enforcement of processes.  The government should carefully weigh the benefits to Canadians before moving precipitously to find easy solutions.
