Let me now turn to the question of reverse onus in terms of the determination of who is a dual citizen. Again, I'll put to one side the issue of whether it should or should not be possible to deport dual citizens. We may disagree on that.
My concern here is the process. The bill says that the onus is upon the individual to prove that he is not a dual citizen. That may be really difficult, depending on where the person comes from and what sort of evidence he or she has at their disposal. It may not be able for him to prove that, even if it is true.
Is it not normal in law for the onus to be put on the prosecutor, so that the government, which would have greater resources than the individual, should have the onus to prove that the person is a dual national rather than the onus of proof being the other way around?
