From my perspective, this amendment is providing an avenue to address those concerns.
As I understand it, since 2009, some parents of adopted children who have gone the direct grant of citizenship route have been concerned that the first-generation limit applies to them as it does to the natural-born children of Canadians who were born abroad.
As discussed in this committee, this current amendment would be providing an avenue for those international adoptees who are considered the second generation born abroad in line with the previous amendment that was considered by this committee, which is extending an avenue to the natural-born children of a Canadian abroad in the second generation or beyond.
