Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the member's comments and I would like to ask him a question.
One of my constituents in my riding of Waterloo was born abroad. She has a family who is proudly Canadian, who speak both official languages and who contribute to our community and our country. She attended a conference abroad and could not return to Canada without putting her unborn child at risk, so the child is not Canadian.
I would like the member to tell me what he means. Should this child be Canadian? He will speak both official languages and contribute to Canada. He lives here in our country, but he is not entitled to citizenship.
