To answer the question, Mr. Chairman, I would say that whether they are soldiers who are able to accelerate the acquisition of their citizenship or not, if their children were born in Canada they will immediately obtain Canadian citizenship. If the children were born abroad and one of the two parents is a Canadian citizen, they have Canadian citizenship. And indeed, they just need one of their four grandparents—no, it's just the parents; it's two generations.
This was a provision adopted unanimously by Parliament in both houses, all parties, all members, in 2008. I don't see this as a matter of contention.
There have been some suggestions that we ought to amend the Citizenship Act to make an exception to the two-generation born-abroad rule for crown servants. Indeed, I proposed such an amendment in the last Parliament and I intend to bring that amendment forward again.
