I understand what you're saying, Mr. Stewart. You are talking about the legal consequences, but I want to know the underlying reasons. Reference has been made to an attachment criterion. But I have trouble seeing how this criterion, in the case of children adopted by Canadian parents who come to live in Canada, is connected to the procedure whereby these children got their citizenship. I understand the legal consequences and the two equivalent situations, but I am wondering what the reason for this is.
