Thank you.
I don't normally serve on this committee, but it seems I'm helicoptering in from time to time.
What strikes me from the time I was here previously and now is that good facts tend to make bad law. People seem to think they know what a convicted terrorist is, yet when you're pressing them on certain factual situations that are out of their realm of comfort, then maybe they're a little bit less comfortable.
For instance, this weekend The Globe and Mail had a story about Rwanda. The President of Rwanda is systematically hunting down people who are convicted of “terrorist activities” in Rwanda and have fled, some to South Africa but some to here in Canada.
Would you see those people who are here in Canada, who have been convicted of a “terrorist offence” as being vulnerable to having their citizenship revoked?
