For us, the major issue has always been that we were never told. I think, also, there's the issue of a clarification of what exactly a citizenship card is. Anybody who has come up to me has gotten really angry and said: “I am a Canadian; they tell me I'm a Canadian.” But when I explain to them that a citizenship card is your proof of Canadian birth, it's as though all these lights go on, and they say: well, why didn't somebody tell me? I'm thinking: that's a very good point; we were never told—
Of any of the people who have come to me, not one was ever told that they had to turn in their registration of birth abroad for a citizenship card. It was one of the best-kept secrets, and even though Citizenship and Immigration and DND met in 2006 in September, they still have not made any announcement. It's another best-kept secret. It's going to hit you big time when they all come up for pensions.
