Could I hear from the legal services official? What would happen if the committee were to amend it or, in the future, if the government or any member through a private member's bill were to amend the original substantial connection test to exclude adoptive children?
I tried to do a subamendment at the time that would have made it a consecutive 1,095 days. We considered doing things like applying a test to see whether a person would.... If they have a criminal record, that would be grounds for not being able to show or demonstrate a substantial connection.
If this stays as it is but applies differently to adoptive parents and adoptive children who are trying to regain their citizenship—I actually like that idea—is that likely to stand up in court, or is that likely to cause a lot of problems?
