Yes. Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
I have a new NDP-12, which has been provided and circulated to all of the members. Effectively, the NDP-12 amendment I am moving provides for an exemption to the automatic conferring of citizenship for those who don't want it, and includes a mechanism for people to be able to provide written notice to the minister that they are exempt from the application of the new provisions of the act under which they would otherwise be citizens.
We had some discussion during committee with witness's and, I think, officials' concerns as to how we ensure that people who don't want this automatically conferred to them are addressed. I believe that the amendment that I've tabled addresses that.
