Mr. Speaker, I really appreciated my colleague's speech. I know that he was not here during the previous Parliament when we had a great deal of debate on this bill. We had discussions with families that fall under this category. These are Canadian families that have served outside Canada.
What does my colleague think about the fact that this matter has come back to the House a couple of times and that Conservatives continue to put barriers to Canadians' access to this birthright?
Most importantly, what message does this send to families that have served outside Canada if we prevent them from obtaining citizenship for their children or grandchildren?
