MP Tony Clement, who as industry minister met with Kumar in Mumbai, says the citizenship grant was just a thank you for the actor's help in promoting Canadian tourism and trade to a huge emerging economy – not a reward for partisan support. 'Basically, he had offered to put that star power to use to advance Canada-India relations, our trade relations, our commercial relations, in the movie sector, in the tourism sector,' said Clement.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&rft.genre=article&rft.jtitle=Nationalpost&rft.atitle=Bollywood+actor+who+campaigned+for+Stephen+Harper+was+granted+Canadian+citizenship+by+Conservative+government&rft.date=2019-05-21&rft.aulast=Blackwell&rft.aufirst=Tom&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fnationalpost.com%2Fnews%2Fpolitics%2Fbollywood-actor-who-campaigned-for-stephen-harper-was-granted-canadian-citizenship-by-conservative-government&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AAkshay+Kumar" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-19"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-19">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite class="citation news cs1"><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://scroll.in/latest/1054359/akshay-kumar-renounces-canadian-citizenship-becomes-indian-national">"Akshay Kumar renounces Canadian citizenship, becomes Indian national again"</a>. 15 August 2023. <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20230815095321/https://scroll.in/latest/1054359/akshay-kumar-renounces-canadian-citizenship-becomes-indian-national">Archived</a> from the original on 15 August 2023<span class="reference-accessdate">.
