Minister, let me show you the picture I am holding in my hands. These are my five daughters. One of them was born abroad; it took your officials five months to confirm whether or not she was a citizen.
What you're telling me is that if my daughter works abroad and has a child, that child cannot be a Canadian citizen. That's what you're telling me. You're going back to your Reform roots of picking and choosing, Minister. Your statement says, Minister, that if my grandchild is born abroad, my grandchild cannot be a Canadian citizen.
How dare you? How dare you tell my daughter, born abroad but in this country since she was two months old, that her children cannot be Canadian citizens? How dare you, Minister? How dare you say this and then go home tonight, face the mirror, and say, “I'm okay, I've got no problem”?
Minister, you come with privileges and responsibilities, and unfortunately your responsibility to Canadians is failing. When are you going to hand in your resignation, Minister? Do it, and do it now.
