Conservative leader Andrew Scheer is an American Citizen.

A spokesperson for Scheer says that he is in the process of renouncing his American citizenship.

Scheer's father is an American by birth.

Scheer said nobody ever asked him and that's why he never told Canadians.

As required by law, Scheer has filed taxes with the IRS.

The former Conservative government had made a point of noting that both Stéphane Dion and Tom Mulcair were also duo-citizens.

Earlier this week it was revealed that Scheer also lied about being an insurance broker.
