Demanding change due to a death that was preventable is a bit different than asking for change because a passport that may have belonged to a terrorist means he may have been a Syrian refugee and plans to accommodate Syrian refugees may lead to a reduction in screening checks according to people who haven't even seen the plan that is still being drafted.
Nevertheless, the promise made by the Liberals did play on the emotions of Canadians and is worthy of the same criticism.

I have to agree that it is much better to have a plan before making promises. However, it was made during an election campaign and I'm willing to allow it as long as they treat it as a gamble and are willing to break that promise if a solid plan cannot be created. Just to clarify, I'm not okay with them gambling on national security but whether or not they can keep their promise.

People have been asking about the plans for all of this, but all they get is told to trust them and that a plan is coming out soon, all while the days keep ticking away. Trudeau would gain a lot if he simply said he is listening to the concerns of Canadians and is extending the timeline. Global had a poll that showed only about 4% of respondents supported sticking to the plan to bring in 25k by the end of 2015.

If the plan is not even being implemented yet, why suspend it? Why not wait for the plan to be revealed before making a decision on its implementation?
