Question Period: Scheer and Citizenship

question period: Knowing that I won't be prime minister, I discontinued that process, Scheer said, according to CTV. During the fall federal election campaign, Scheer confirmed that he had dual Canadian-U.S. citizenship after it was first reported by The Globe and Mail, saying he was in the process of renouncing his American citizenship. In an interview on CTV's Question Period with Evan Solomon, Scheer said that after deciding to step down as leader, he halted the process. When the story of his dual citizenship first broke in October, Scheer said he met with embassy representatives in August to renounce his citizenship and had submitted his paperwork to formalize it. Asked why the change of heart, Scheer cited personal reasons. However, that paperwork was never formalized, and so Scheer continues to hold dual citizenship status. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
