Statement of Minister Regarding Citizenship of Children Born in Canada to Non-Canadian Parents-Government Position Hon. Noël A. Kinsella (Acting Deputy Leader of the Opposition): Honourable senators, can the minister advise this house as to whether or not the Minister of Immigration was speaking on his behalf and on behalf of his colleagues and the Government of Canada when he stated, about one week ago, that children who are born in Canada of non-Canadian citizens would not be Canadian citizens?
L'honorable Noël A. Kinsella (chef adjoint suppléant de l'opposition): Honorables sénateurs, le ministre peut-il dire au Sénat si la ministre de l'Immigration parlait en son nom et au nom de ses collègues et du gouvernement du Canada quand elle a dit, il y a environ une semaine, que les enfants nés au Canada de parents étrangers n'auraient pas la citoyenneté canadienne?
