Hour 4 of Ottawa Now for Thurs. March 26th, 2026

In December, the Carney government passed Bill C-3, also known as 'An Act to Amend the Citizenship Act'. It retroactively makes people born outside of Canada – to Canadian parents – eligible to apply for proof of citizenship. Before this, only first-generation Canadians were allowed to apply. And now, an Ottawa based immigration consultant says the demand for proof of Canadian citizenship has exploded since the bill was passed. Cassandra Fultz joins Kristy Cameron in Hour 2. Meantime, after significant political pressure from U.S. officials and other allies, Canada has officially hit NATO's 2% spending target. It's marks the first time we have achieved this goal since the 1980's. Retired Major-General Denis Thompson offers his two cents. Plus, Ottawa's Mayor is generating waves of unwanted attention for his day-to-day photos. CFRA's Chris Holski explains.
