Mr. Speaker, the hon. member is distorting the facts just a little bit, unintentionally I am sure.
Normally, anyone who is born in Canada is, without question, a Canadian citizen and will continue to be a Canadian citizen. Unfortunately, there have been a few cases in recent years where there have been anomalies of citizenship, usually caused by people not knowing what was required of them. A child may have been born across the border in the nearest U.S. hospital and the parents may have failed to register their child back here in Canada within a time limit.
We are working on those cases on an expedited basis. Each case is getting the attention it deserves.
