This enactment is designed to remedy the situation where a person
has, as a child, been deprived of their Canadian citizenship as a result
of the operation of section 18 of the Canadian Citizenship Act, chapter
15 of the Statutes of Canada, 1946. That section, which was in force
until February 14, 1977, provided that a minor child ceased to be a
Canadian citizen upon their responsible parent becoming the citizen of
another country. This enactment makes it easier for such a person to
regain their Canadian citizenship as they will no longer have to be
established for a year as a permanent resident in order to do so.
