'Lost Canadians' could get citizenship with new legislation

A bill was tabled on 10 December 2007 that will give Canadian citizenship to those who lost or never had it because of outdated provisions in existing and former legislation. Because of new United States and Canadian travel rules, many Canadian citizens were applying for passports, only to find out they were not considered citizens by the government. Some of these so-called "lost Canadians" had been living in the country most of their lives.
