>>> The U.S. is expected to announce another $275 million in ammunition and artillery for ukraine tomorrow.

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 spent 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. Evacuees, many in the harper government, viewed as canadians of convenience. 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.

>>> 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.

Women 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.

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 people 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!
