Mr. Speaker, there are a few things I would like to point out with respect to the parliamentary secretary's speech.
First off, the approach of the government creates an ethical dilemma when citizenship is passed on to the grandchildren of naturalized citizens. There will come a time when Canada has to use its conscription laws.
How will a Canadian living in another country be treated versus a Canadian living in Canada properly? We have not heard an answer from the government about how our military and conscription laws will apply to citizenship in this case. I think it is an important point, given that the military just announced it wants to mobilize 400,000 reservists.
