The federal government has reintroduced a bill to grant citizenship to “Lost Canadians” – children born abroad to foreign-born Canadians – after an attempt by the Liberals to restore their right to hold a passport died before the election.

The Liberals introduced a bill in the last Parliament to restore citizenship to “Lost Canadians.” But it was one of more than 20 bills stopped in their tracks by the proroguing of Parliament ahead of the federal election.
