OTTAWA — An Ontario Superior Court judge has"reluctantly" given the federal government another three months to pass legislation aimed at granting citizenship to the so-called lost Canadians.
In 2009, the former Conservative government changed the law so people who were born abroad could not pass down their citizenship unless their child was born in Canada. It has introduced a bill in the House of Commons to create citizenship rules for the lost Canadians — but the bill is stalled and the Liberals have asked for an extension three times since then.
