I'm going back to some of the testimony and some of the discussion we had over the last couple of meetings. If I remember correctly—and you can correct me if I'm wrong—this was something that came out of what was basically an error that occurred in 1996, when the act was amended in the first place.

I understand where Ms. Charlton's going with the consistency question, but if I understand the act correctly, the basis of consistency in the act is based on length of residency, not citizenship. Is that correct?
