We, the undersigned, members, friends, and family of the adoption community, express our strong support for Bill C-397 - An Act to Amend the Citizenship Act, whose purpose is to restore equality for all Canadians.

Nous, les membres, les amis et les familles de la communautй de ladoption soussignйs, exprimons notre appui au Projet de loi C397 Loi modifiant la Loi sur la citoyennetй, qui a pour objectif de rйtablir lйgalitй pour tous les Canadiens.

We are dismayed that by the provisions of the Citizenship Act which came into effect in April 2009, a two-tiered citizenship has been created, and that our adopted children, Canadian citizens who will have lived almost their entire lives in Canada, will not have the same rights as other citizens born in Canada, even those in their own family. They will not be able to pass on their Canadian citizenship to any of their children who may be born abroad.

Nous sommes consternйs par les dispositions de la Loi sur la citoyennetй entrйe en vigueur en avril 2009. Cette Loi crйe deux niveaux de citoyennetй. Nos enfants adoptйs, qui sont citoyens canadiens et qui auront vйcu presque toute leur vie au Canada, nauront pas les mкmes droits que les autres citoyens canadiens nйs au Canada, comme les membres de leur propre famille. Ils ne pourront pas transmettre la citoyennetй а leurs enfants qui naоtront а lйtranger.

We are further dismayed that this Act applies equally to the millions of Canadians working abroad to serve this country as teachers, as doctors, as aid workers, and as corporate workers, whose children equally will not automatically have the right to pass on citizenship to their children.
Nous sommes aussi consternйs par le fait que cette Loi sapplique aux millions de Canadiens qui travaillent а lйtranger pour servir notre pays en tant quenseignants, mйdecins et travailleurs humanitaires et corporatifs, dont les enfants ne pourront pas transmettre la citoyennetй automatiquement а leurs enfants.

We urge all members of Parliament to support this Bill.
Nous demandons а tous les dйputйs du Parlement dappuyer ce Projet de loi.
