Mr. Chair, the reason why these cases are out there is because of decisions that were made by Parliament for the 1947 act, and also in 1977. As bureaucrats, our responsibility as civil servants is to implement the legislation that we have. The minister had indicated to the committee that she was looking for advice from the committee on how to solve those legislative problems. And obviously, as civil servants as well, we're looking forward to any advice the committee may give to the minister on how to resolve those problems.
We are taking advantage of the mechanism we do have that Parliament has given to the minister and the Governor in Council to resolve these cases. That mechanism is contained in subsection 5(4) of the Citizenship Act.
