Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
Indeed, I'd like to continue presenting amendment G‑3.
I move that Bill S-245 in clause 1 be amended by replacing lines 11 to 14 on page 1 with the following:
(g.1) the person was born outside Canada after February 14, 1977 and, before April 17, 2009, ceased to be a citizen because they failed to make an application to retain their citizenship under section 8, as it read before April 17, 2009, or made such an application but the application was not approved;
This amendment introduces a more inclusive remedy to restore citizenship to everyone who lost citizenship status under the former section 8, those who never made an application and those who made an application that failed.
Madam Chair, that will ensure consistency. The people whose citizenship is restored by this amendment are added to the list of those who are subject to the first-generation limit.
