In our submissions, we deal a little bit with the situation of making these decisions based on whether or not you're born in or out of wedlock. I'm not sure whether you meant people who have been adopted out of the country and who were born here and then left.
Our basic submission is that a new citizenship act will have to make some hard and fast distinctions. What's clear is that not only that act but also discretionary decisions made now, today, need also to be charter-compliant, so that when people are being denied citizenship based on the legitimacy of their birth, we simply can't have this happen in a post-charter era. That's been a unanimous decision. A1997 decision by the Supreme Court of Canada says that when somebody today comes to ask for a citizenship card or citizenship status, when they're being denied today, that is a post-charter decision that needs to be charter-compliant. Saying to somebody that you're not a citizen because of the legitimacy of your birth is just something we can no longer do in the modern era, the post-charter world.
