Mr. Speaker, I think it is important for us to recognize, at the end of the day, what we are really talking about.
I can imagine two Canadians going abroad, maybe it is work-related, and they have a child. Now, they come back to Canada, and that child could completely grow up here in Canada. If that child were to go abroad, get married and have a child, that child would not be deemed Canadian. What is being suggested here, from what I understand, is that the sponsor of the legislation was supportive of the changes. I am wondering if the member can provide his thoughts on the principle of what it is I have said about the changing of the scope.
Does the member support the idea of that particular child I just described being allowed to be considered a Canadian citizen?
