Your son will regain Canadian citizenship and his children will have
it for the first time, once this law goes into effect.
As to my questions, I think I was able to answer them on my own, since
no one else did.
1) Yes, the child of a Canadian who lost citizenship before 1977 will
gain Canadian citizenship as a result of these amendments.
2) No, children born abroad in the second generation will not gain
Canadian citizenship.
Here's more info on the implementation of the new law:
