ACQUISITION OF BN (0) STATUS THROUGH REGISTRATION AND ENDORSEMENT OF A BC PASSPORT CONFLICTS WITH AND UNDERMINES THAT POSITION. WE WOULD PREFER A CONSISTENT APPROACH FOR ALL BDTCS, INCLUDING THOSE WHO ARE ALSO BC PASSPORT HOLDERS, WHICH IS WHY WE SUGGESTED THE PROCEDURE IN OUR TELNO 1289. WE AGREE THAT IT MIGHT APPEAR CUMBERSOME AND BUREAUCRATIC, BUT WE BELIEVE THAT IT IS CONSISTENT AND DEFENSIBLE IN THE LIGHT OF THE SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS OF JD 227.
