Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to our witnesses for appearing before us today.
Prior to 1976—I think Mr. Dykstra alluded to part of this question earlier—Canadian citizenship could be stripped for high treason. The Liberal government at the time chose that it should no longer be grounds for stripping a person of citizenship, even though almost every other peer country would disagree, and many have since added grounds for revocation or deemed renunciation.
In addition, it is legal to strip citizenship from someone who is found to have obtained it fraudulently. I think that's pretty obvious. Clearly there used to be, and there still are, legal and constitutional grounds to strip citizenship from someone.
Would you agree that this would still be the case with this bill and with the suggested amendments?
