I support the provisions to revoke citizenship for those offences, but again, with the proviso that these are Canadian courts, that they've had the opportunity to defend themselves in court, the protection of the charter, the right to counsel—all those things.
Those types of offences—let's talk about espionage and treason—are offences against Canada, not just Canadian interests, and are not just a disloyal thing. It's actually an offence to try to bring down this government and this country. I'm not too sure if you should have Canadian citizenship if you're trying to bring down the country that you are a citizen of. I think there is an issue there, and I support the revocation of citizenship on those grounds.
Where I have the problem is terrorism for convictions outside of Canada, just because those people will not have the protection of the charter. While I have a problem with that and I would rather see that provision struck, if it is going to proceed, I would like to see some sort of guidelines that are more specific than what is in the bill, and perhaps some sort of reference to extradition laws, as a starting point. Again, I'm not an expert in extradition laws, but those countries where we have extradition treaties would be a good starting point, those countries where we can say that we've agreed with their justice system enough that we would extradite people to those countries to face charges on a variety of matters.
