Thank you.
Certainly I can understand your frustration and your bewilderment. I spent at least three days calling the minister's office as well as the 1-800 number trying to get answers on my daughter. The letter we got from the minister said that some children born to Canadians outside of Canada after 1977 could lose their citizenship. I do have a 24-year-old who was born outside this country, and certainly that panicked me.
I have a question for Mrs. Jennings and then I'm going to focus on Mr. Chapman.
Mrs. Jennings, I'm reading your letter and I want to ask you just a couple of questions.
You were married to a citizen of Italy in 1974 and you acquired citizenship in Italy in 1977.
