do you expect if canada you know say does kind of crack down on this and and really
00:00:06.500
put forward a a remigration plan do you expect some resistance from from the indian government
00:00:12.480
from from indian um you know statesmen anything like that any form of uh maybe international
00:00:19.520
incident that this might cause uh such a program would definitely require international relations
00:00:27.120
they would we would need to work with the foreign governments of these countries to create kind of
00:00:32.900
sustainable agreements uh to take back these people india as an example does not allow dual
00:00:39.080
citizenship so i know for a fact there are many indians in canada that illegally hold citizenship
00:00:45.500
in in both countries um so there would need to be a uh a level of diplomacy in um maintaining these
00:00:56.920
these agreements um that being said that's that's foreign relations in general like you could almost
00:01:03.740
see that there might be a fear of some people going back to india where like oh if they're holding
00:01:08.400
a canadian citizenship and they didn't they didn't get rid of their indian one would they be punished
00:01:14.360
when they went back to india so good diplomacy would maybe give them amnesty or make sure that
00:01:22.560
they're not going to get in trouble so you'd kind of set the tone for these so they are able to go
00:01:28.300
back without these kind of uh anxieties yes you need to make sure you have a solution so that people
00:01:34.700
don't end up completely stateless um but yeah that would be the the finer points around um some of
00:01:42.240
these programs and and certainly international relations and diplomacy will be will be required
00:01:47.240
um to to do this on a large scale now especially with those three countries that we mentioned the
00:01:53.940
philippines um india and in china because again that's it's the bulk of the the the immigration
00:02:00.540
issue so working with these three countries in particular would be crucial um now that being said
00:02:07.400
a lot of these things can be mutually beneficial a lot of these countries are suffering from from
00:02:12.700
brain drain from people coming to to canada and other countries to to find economic opportunities
00:02:20.660
re-migrationists like myself say it's time for you to go back it's time for you to to rebuild your own
00:02:26.700
country and do what's in the best interest of your people while we do what's been the best interest for
