Absolutely. There's an enormous difference between the provisions that a country puts in place in terms of granting individual citizenship in the first place and the provisions that a country puts in place about stripping citizenship rights. It is perfectly within the purview of the government to make it more difficult to naturalize, and it's something that may be behind this bill that people may be interested in considering.
It's not accurate that most comparator nations have similar provisions. The United States doesn't have a provision that allows for stripping citizenship under a broad terrorism provision. Really, the country that is most closely paralleled is the United Kingdom, which is why I brought some facts about the United Kingdom to the table. They've had enormous difficulty with this, and they simply haven't been able to strip citizenship from the people they most wanted to because of the way the citizenship laws of other countries operate. None of those individuals have actually faced a trial. I think it's enormously important that Canada persist in trying to use all measures that it can to bring people to justice who are involved in heinous and violent activities, and maintaining a link of citizenship may prove one measure of doing that.
Thank you.
