Yes, the member is correct that there is a cascading effect, especially when citizenship is granted automatically. The effect is particularly on the descendants of those persons who are receiving citizenship automatically through a bill such as this one, as indeed was the case with the remedies passed in 2009 and 2015. This is why this transition provision that's under discussion is so important. One of the key features of it is that it's confirming that when there's a cascading effect, any who are citizens already on the day of coming into force of this bill, should it pass, will remain Canadian citizens.
