Of course, again, the courts didn't put a number on it. One of the greatest cases would be The Advocate General for Scotland v. Romein. They did the same thing basically as C-3, but here's the point: Bill C-37 opened the door to a million people, maybe two million, and in the 16 years since that became effective, 20,000 people showed up at Canada's door to say they wanted to be Canadian. A lot of those people lived in Canada. We're talking maybe tens of thousands of Mennonites who already live here would now get their citizenship. They're probably part of that 115,000.
It's not just a matter of how many people there are. It's how many people are going to show up. Make no assumption that these are people who are going to be on social services. These are people who are contributing members of society. They already are; they just want to be legitimized.
