Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would just like to say that this is a very complex issue. The way the 1947 and 1977 citizenship acts were written has led to a great deal of confusion by an awful lot of people. It's also unfortunate, in that because it's so complex there are situations where people get confused and it can be very scary for them.
We're trying to simplify that, Mr. Chair, and do it as quickly and as fairly as possible, while upholding the dignity and the value of Canadian citizenship.
