On this committee, sir, there are 12 members. I can clearly say that all of my colleagues on the Conservative side are probably first-generation Canadians. On this side, I know Ms. Mendes, Ms. Chow, and I are first-generation Canadians. I had a child born abroad. I have five daughters. My fifth daughter feels like a second-class citizen, and with Ms. Mendes it is the same thing.
Now, you're talking about adoptive kids. Please understand that I know you are behind the eight ball, certainly, but so are our children behind the eight ball.
How many generations can we give Canadian citizenship to? Is it the second, third, fourth generation of people born abroad? Should my daughter, who was born abroad, feel any different?
I have another question. If I could lump them together, maybe one of you can answer. Do you know how many countries in the world do not give citizenship to people born in that country--i.e., Saudi, Yemen, Japan?
