She has been vocal in opposing a proposed citizenship bill by the Canadian government that she argues undermines the citizenship rights of adopted children born abroad. Lanteigne, whose son was adopted from Zambia, contends that the new requirement for a 'substantial connection' to Canada treats adopted children unfairly, akin to immigrants. Her efforts aim to highlight the importance of recognizing the citizenship status of children adopted in Canada, emphasizing that their rights should not be compromised due to their place of birth.
