Former conservative prime minister stephen harper's government changed the law so that canadian parents who were born abroad could not pass down their citizenship unless their child was born in canada. McKENZIE gray explains what's changing and its potential impact. >> Reporter: a new move from ottawa to bring home so-called lost canadians. >> There's no doubt that canadian citizenship is highly valued and recognized around the world. We want a citizenship to be fair, accessible, and clear and transparent rules. >> Reporter: currently if someone is born to a canadian outside the country, they couldn't pass on their canadian passport to their child if that child was also born abroad. With the change, citizenship could be passed along as long as their parent sent a total of three years in canada before their kid was born or adopted. >> I love you guys. >> Reporter: that will allow the kids of boston resident katherine burton to become canadian. >> They want to come here, they want to learn language, they want to go to school here, they want to do so many things here because this is what they consider home. >> Reporter: the liberals forced to make the modification after an ontario superior court ruled the law limiting citizenship was unconstitutional. >> It will be the first time that the citizenship act is actually charter compliant. >> Reporter: the old rules imposed in 2009 by the then conservative government after they spent $94 million repatriating around 14,000 canadian citizens during the war in lebanon.

A part of an estimated group of over 4 million canadian citizens living outside the country who can access canadian social services like health care and reduced university tuition while paying little to no taxes. >> We don't have the same system as in the U.S. where if you're an american citizen, regardless of where you live, you have to fill your income tax report every year. >> Reporter: the immigration minister was unable to say how many new canadians there would be from these changes, but dawna, a report released from the senate estimated 2 million canadians living abroad obtained their citizenship by descent. >> Dawna: McKENZIE gray in ottawa, thanks.

>>> The university of toronto has made a conditional offer to pro-palestinian demonstrators camped out for about three weeks.

Louisville police released footage of the arrest from two different cameras. A security camera and police dash-cam provide new angles, but the altercation between scheffler and the arresting officer is largely obscured. There's no police body cam footage because the officer did not turn on his device. >> We understand the seriousness of the failure to capture this interaction, which is why our officer has received corrective action for this policy violation. >> Dawna: scheffler was arrested last friday after he allegedly failed to follow police orders while arriving at the pga championship. A pedestrian had been killed, and police had stopped traffic. Scheffler is facing several charges, including second degree assault of a police officer.

>>> It is official: the wnba is coming to canada. The women's professional basketball league confirmed today its latest franchise will be in toronto. The team will hit the court in 2026; and as mike drolet reports, basketball fans in three canadian cities will get a chance to watch in person. >> Toronto, welcome to the w. [Applause] >> Reporter: it's somewhat ironic the shortest person on the stage has been a giant when it comes to basketball in canada. Larry tannenbaum was instrumental in bringing the nba to toronto; and now, almost 30 years later, he's doing the same with the wnba. >> Many say women sports is having a moment. I disagree. Women's sports has arrived. It is a movement. The world is finally taking notice of something that's been there all along. >> Reporter: it wasn't always so. Tammy sutton-brown played 12 years in the w and remembers the early 2000s when the league struggled to get exposure and the players barely made ends meet. >> The salaries, can we just start there. The salaries are a lot different. I think they're making probably two, three, four times what we made back in our day. >> Reporter: today one of the hottest and most marketable athletes on the planet, caitlin clark, is set to begin her wnba career as the league celebrates attendance, broadcast, and fan engagement records. >> When I joined the league, I think we had 80 games of our over 200 on national platforms. Last year we had 205 of our 240 games on national platforms. If you build it, they will come. >> Absolutely, yes. >> I thought it was fake news, but we here, man, we here. >> Reporter: there's certainly a buzz around women's sports that we haven't seen before. That, in turn, is changing the way sports marketing experts think. >> I credit them for saying this is not only the right thing to do, but it's the business decision, and the time is now. And perhaps overdue to bring women sport in this country. >> Reporter: the team's home base will be in toronto, but they'll also play in vancouver and montréal. And yes, they'll be accepting input on the team name and colours from the public. But with first tip-off not until 2026, they have time to enjoy this historic day. >> Do hereby proclaim may 23rd, 2024, as wnba day in the city of toronto! [Cheering and Applause] >> Reporter: mike drolet, global news, toronto. >> Dawna: canadian superstar celine dion has a new documentary coming out about her life. It's said to be a raw and honest look at the struggles she's faced dealing with a life-altering illness. Here's a clip from the trailer... >> I'm working hard every day, but I have to admit it's been a struggle. I miss it so much. The people. I miss them. >> Dawna: in 2022, dion was diagnosed with stiff person syndrome, a rare neurological disorder. It causes muscle rigidity and painful spasms that progress over time. She cancelled her world tour a year ago. Dion calls the film a love letter to her fans and hints at a return. It will stream on prime video at the end of june.
