That's right.
Therefore, as I see it, people who were born in Canada and end up living abroad because they work for a multinational company, or those who ultimately decide to live in the United States, have rights as citizens, as do their children.
We're talking here about citizens who were penalized between 1947 and 1977. It would be interesting if you could send us some figures or information uncovered during the course of your research on the number of Canadians living abroad, to give us an idea of the sheer scope of the problem.
