Mr. Chair, there is a section in our Citizenship Act that takes care of aboriginal people who are questioning if they are Canadian citizens or not. Under our Citizenship Act, we do refer to the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development Act, so we do take the definition from that act into consideration. If you are defined under that act, then there is a measure to make you a Canadian citizen. If you are not sure of the status of your citizenship, then we do take that into consideration as well. So there are measures under our act to take care of that.
