Bill C-24 Second Reading on February 27th:

[RAY2112]

if you applied now or later what it going to affect you, they might return all the pending applications in the current law and tell you you have to apply on the new law, as what they did with the immigration last year or the year before. Its your choice.

Well they can do that to foreigners as coming to Canada isnot a guaranteed right. Citizenship is administered by Citizenship Act and I dont think the Act allows government to do so my friend. Completely different things.

Applying for citizenship is a right as long as the person satisfies all the requirements in place.

What you try to say is not a "maybe" thing. Even its Cons they cant just change the order of the world in one day or two

You seem to be discouraging people with your nonsense in most of your posts here

No at all, of course you have the right to aplly for citizenship, but as long as you are not granted for citizenship you still a PR.

So you are saying if you want to be equal with other canadians that are residing in canada, a person should come back to canada and reside for good! if not they will revoke his citizenship . Let's Say this, now the aboriginal will say we are the true owner of this land and most of you are immigrants so get out from my land we neeed to revoke your rights to be a canadians. Does not make any sense! There are thousands of canadians living overseas and they have one citizenship and they are residing overseas for good. What will be there situation?

I was just saying that, in the interest of ensuring equality of ALL citizens, if the new citizens will have to live in Canada only (Menegakis says citizens should be expected to live in their country), then the "old" citizens should be made to do that, too. If they insist on the current bill and making naturalized citizens live in Canada, then the system should require all Canadian citizens living overseas to come back to Canada immediately so that we are all equal .

Regardless of our individual opinions here, we have to agree citizens must be equal under law.

The situation of all those Canadians residing overseas must be the same as for all their other fellow citizens: citizens must live in Canada, not somewhere else (say the Cons). If that ruins their lives, then tough luck, just as people have been telling immigrants. Who cares, right? Come back to Canada, be separated from your spouse and children for a few years, no big deal.

As far as the Natives, they must be equal to all others, no more, no less. Your analogy to the Natives is not in any way related to the discussion of citizenship law.

It's such a joke the way they came across during today's Committee sitting. Respect and trust in them truly shaken - and guess what they are bringing it upon themselves sadly. And it wont be too long before justice triumphs. I know some of us occasionally despair but this whole muzzling and refusing to hear people out circus can only go on for so long. In the end, reality will most definitely catch up with fair play !

It is interesting, that 25k petition became a 26k petition in about three days. About 300 new signatures per day.

But the guy never replied to my question about when he intends to present it to the House of Commons.
