‘Inherently cruel’: Canadian parents say citizenship bill erodes rights of children adopted abroad
Canadian parents are expressing deep concern over a proposed citizenship bill that they believe undermines the rights of their adopted children born abroad. The bill, which requires these children to demonstrate a 'substantial connection' to Canada to obtain citizenship, has been labeled as 'shocking and unconscionable' by critics. This move by the governing Liberals is seen as a significant shift in the Citizenship Act, which could affect the future citizenship rights of generations born outside Canada. The implications of this bill are profound, as it raises questions about the inclusivity and fairness of citizenship laws for families formed through adoption.
