As the legislation is currently drafted, it does not attend to the question of dual nationality. I believe that both Mr. Waldman and I have been proceeding on the basis that an amendment will be made because that amendment was requested by the minister to apply this only to dual citizens. It would be very difficult in international law.... It would be a direct contravention of international law to increase the amount of statelessness in the world, absolutely.
