Who carries this bill
Arrows run from the person responsible to those who answer to them on this bill. The critic leads the Senate’s scrutiny and answers to no one on it.
What it set out to do
On 28 May 2019, the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship introduced Bill C-99, Act to amend the Citizenship Act, in the House of Commons and it was given first reading. Bill C-99 amends the Citizenship Act to include, in the Oath or Affirmation of Citizenship, a solemn promise to respect the Aboriginal and treaty rights of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples.
