"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8964809\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, this is a gross misrepresentation of what the Conservatives have been trying to do on this bill. There are already tools available to the government to deal with lost Canadians. The <a data-HoCid=\"318691\" href=\"/politicians/lena-metlege-diab/\" title=\"Lena Metlege Diab\">minister</a> has tremendous latitude on this. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8964810\" data-originallang=\"en\">What we are talking about is not a government that has not been in power for 10 years. We are talking about the value of Canadian citizenship and people who, despite no real meaningful connection to Canada, will be permitted to access Canadian citizenship if this bill passes.</p>",
