Mr. Speaker, for starters, on the lost Canadians piece, I would say to my colleague across the way that we agree with those provisions, and this is why we did not amend that part of the bill. That provision stands. I think our Conservative comments at committee stand for themselves.
With respect to his example of someone who is globe-trotting and here for school, away for school, here for a job, back for a job, etc., that person would still have spent the amount of time required by the bill in the country with their going back and forth, whether it is for school or for work. Their children would have citizenship under the provisions of the bill. That is already clear in the bill.
We do not think that 1,095 days out of a five-year period is an unreasonable expectation. We certainly hope the Liberals will support that.
