Arielle Kayabaga at the Citizenship and Immigration Committee

Thank you, Madam Chair.

I would like to move a second subamendment.

I move that NDP-3, proposing to amend clause 1 of Bill S-245 by adding text after line 14 on page 1, be amended by substituting the following for the text of the proposed subparagraph 3(3)(a.01)(ii):

(ii) neither of the person's parents was a citizen who had a substantial connection with Canada;

This makes a change to the list of people who can meet the substantial connection requirement introduced by NDP-1. NDP-3 proposes that it should be the parents or a grandparent, but this makes it so it can be only the parents.

Thank you, Madam Chair.
