I'm going to be sharing my time with Mr. Gravel.
First and foremost, I agree with what Mr. Chapman said. I think the people from the department should come back before the committee. When I asked what efforts had been made to tell people about how to keep their citizenship and how they might lose it, we were told that information had been published in the newspapers and that the information was available. But that's not the case; I received a letter confirming that. It's a shame.
There's one thing I'd like to know, Ms. Jennings. When you found out you might have lost your citizenship, did that concern you as a citizen? When you got married, were you concerned about the potential loss of your citizenship? Did it ever occur to you that you might lose your citizenship?
The people now coming to our offices tell us they had no awareness of the act and its consequences. As a citizen, how did you feel then? Was any information available? Was information on citizenship...?
