Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'm going to be brief and to the point. My colleagues have already made points in regard to this particular clause on the revocation of citizenship.
Mr. Chair, I've seen this movie before where reasonable amendments are offered by the opposition. When the member opposite talks about how nobody in Canada wants these kinds of people living next door to them, I'm hoping he's including members of the Liberal Party, the Conservative Party, and the other parties in this House.... I don't think anybody wants that; however, Mr. Chair, surely you'd think that the members of the opposition would have some input into this bill to offer amendments, which have been offered by many witnesses. If you talk about the Canadian Bar Association.... I'm not going to list everyone here. We've had lawyer after lawyer and expert after expert talk about the unconstitutionality of this particular clause.
Mr. Chair, the Conservatives may be right and the opposition members may be right in thinking that by the time this works through the court system, it'll be six or seven years, and they may not be in government. I can assure them of that. Canadians are paying attention to this and they will not be in government at that time.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
