Let me make another argument with you on that. I've heard from some activists who are willing to resolve this issue somewhat differently from the way you're proposing.
You're proposing that we give the same rights to children born to private business individuals as we might to the children of servants of the crown. You don't need to have that kind of parallel treatment if you follow an argument advanced by some activists. They say that if you have children born abroad to Canadians, first generation born abroad, and if those children during the first 25 or 30 years of their lives come and live in Canada for three to five years, then they should be treated the same as children born and raised in Canada. They should be able to pass on their citizenship. I think that might be a better arrangement, because it shows some connection with the country.
The argument is that if we allow immigrants who weren't born or raised here to come into the country, and after three years of residence grant them Canadian citizenship, then we should do the same with the children born abroad to private individuals. We should be able to treat them as if they were born in Canada. I think that might be a better solution.
