Thank you, Madam Chair.
Madam Chair, first of all, I would like to thank Mr. Emery for joining us here today, especially on short notice.
On behalf of my colleagues on this side, I want to thank you, Mr. Emery. However, on the other hand, we want to make sure that you tell the committee the whole story, because you are a very key witness to this. Hopefully, you will be able to answer the questions that I and other colleagues on both sides have.
In your email that you sent on April 28 to staff in the office of Mr. Kmiec, you specifically referenced:
sets of amendments to Bill S-245 related to the after-first generation exceptions in the Citizenship Act: NDP-1, NDP-3, NDP-5, NDP-8, NDP-12 G-2, G-6, G-7, G-8, and G-9
How did you come to know about the specific content of the amendments that you listed in your email to Mr. Kmiec's office? Further, how did you come to learn which numbers had been attributed to this content?
