Thank you Jeff Paul, for going as far as you did. "The Government is opposed to both of those amendments and will advise government members(sic) to vote against them". What will happen if those amendments were to actually pass? Will the government enforce party discipline, and require that members vote against the bill? That's the crux of the problem, Mr. Paul. It is fine to talk about amendments, but if the Government will kill the bill if those amendments are passed, then what is the use? Is all the discussion about amendments just a way to placate the people, until this bill is made law? I have been told that the Government WILL kill this bill, if it is amended in any significant way. I have been told this by two different people that are in a position to know. What say you to this, Mr. Paul? As to the Citizenship Question: As you know very well, the Government has made NO relaxation of the rules concerning persons in my category, that lost their citizenship. The action announced was solely for people who lost their Citizenship as children, because their parent(s) took citizenship in another country between 1947 and 1977. The "relaxation" of the rules that they was made, was so miniscule as to be virtually non-existent. Now such persons only have to meet the qualifications for landed immigrant status (except for age and disability), but not actually be admitted as landed immigrants. Isn't the government generous? They still have to do everything else they have always had to do. Lynton (Bill) Stewart There are three kinds of liars in this world. One is a liar by commission, in that they directly tell an untruth. Another is a liar by omission, they lie by what they do not say. All successful politicians are experts at the latter type. The best politicians can lie by telling the absolute truth, but telling it in such a way that it is not believed. ===== Lynton (Bill) Stewart A former dual Canadian and U.S. Citizen, who's Canadian Citizenship was automatically stripped away without any notice, due to the fact that I was born prior to 1947. My siblings born after that date get to resume their Canadian Citizenship. I do not have that same right. Searching for Moore, McLennan, Peers, Stewart, Thompson in NS;.
