Ms Cindy Wasser:

In Canada, citizenship and immigration are under federal jurisdiction. As I indicated, the Act for immigration and citizenship in Canada provides that everyone born in Canada will be Canadian. We have implemented emergency rules with respect to the crisis in Ukraine and are issuing emergency visas to all refugees, including babies. With respect to those born via surrogates to Canadian parents, under normal circumstances they would have been able to bring home their baby without having to establish any genetic connection because the federal government did not require it. There is feedback and I am not sure from where.
