I think it's self-evident that someone who wants to launch war or acts of violence against Canada as their host country is not well integrated.
There is some evidence suggesting that there is a limited linkage between a lack of economic integration and a lack of social and cultural integration, which can sometimes be the breeding ground for radicalization. A point I always make is that we have a strong interest in ensuring real equality of economic opportunity for newcomers to Canada.
But I don't think we should overstate that. Many of the so-called homegrown terrorists in western societies were actually highly educated individuals. Think of the bombings in London and at the Glasgow airport several years ago that were committed by medical doctors trained in the United Kingdom. Many of the people involved in 9/11 had the benefit of professional graduate and postgraduate educations and professions in western countries. So this is not a function of poverty; it's a choice people make.
In terms of the broad support for integration, and more specifically the premise of Mr. Shory's bill, I'd like to reiterate that based on an NRG live-caller survey of 1,000 people in October last year, 83% expressed support for the principle that citizens found guilty of committing acts of treason against Canada should be stripped of their citizenship, as opposed to 12.9% who were opposed. Sixty-one percent strongly supported the measure, as opposed to 5.6% who were strongly opposed.
