Thank you.
Your time has expired, Ms. Chow.
Ms. James, you're next.
But I have a brief question to ask either you, Mr. Minister, or Mr. Stevens. It has to do with the issue of whether or not we're creating two classes of citizens, which we may already have. I think it was Orwell who said all men are created equal but some men are more equal than others.
If you are convicted under clause 2 of this bill, if it passes and the committee cleans up the wording, “act of war”...if you are a naturalized citizen and you're convicted of the different charges that could happen, you would go to jail and you would serve your time and then you'd come out. If you have dual citizenship by whatever means—either you have applied for it or by some other means—you go to jail and then we kick you out of the country.
The question to you, Minister or Mr. Stevens, is whether that creates two classes of citizens. The same argument could apply for clause 1, I suppose. If we are creating two classes of citizens, does that violate the charter or something else, again referring to the Orwell statement—or whoever said it—that all men are created equal, but in this bill all men aren't all created equal.
