The Importance of Citizenship

I started to realize that obviously the citizenship you're given at birth determines a lot in your life. There was a big famine in Ethiopia, the biggest thing ever and I wondered, you know, what would be if I was born somewhere else with a different passport. It all started in 2006 in St. Kitts and Nevis, another tiny island nation, this time in the Caribbean. What we did is we made it much more scalable. We said well why don't you do it like in Canada with an efficient system, with a transparent system, with due diligence, processing procedures? And then the government at the time accepted our proposals.
