Citizenship Act Third reading of Bill C-3. The bill addresses an Ontario court ruling that found the Citizenship Act's first-generation limit unconstitutional. It allows Canadians born abroad to pass citizenship to their children also born abroad, provided the parent has 1,095 cumulative days of physical presence in Canada. Liberals argue this ensures equality and responds to a court deadline. Conservatives and Bloc members contend the bill, which saw committee-passed amendments rejected, devalues citizenship by lacking requirements like language proficiency and security checks, creating "citizens of convenience" and "unfettered chain migration." 34000 words, 4 hours in 3 segments: 1 2 3.
