I believe the aim of the bill is, of course, to do that, and we agree with it wholeheartedly. But at the same time, I didn't get a chance to elaborate. There can be a contributing member who's a permanent resident who may not have strong language skills in English or French, but they could be a taxpayer and could have no plans to return back to the home country of origin. Denying that person citizenship may not be the best choice. He may be somebody who contributes a large tax base to us. So some subjectivity should be applied to this arena as well. But of course, we're not saying that making a proper commitment to Canadian values, social values, and multicultural values must be present when one wants to have citizenship in this country.
