It's hardly proving a negative. But anyhow, the impact of this amendment of proposed subsection 10.4(2), with regard to revocation, would put the onus on the minister to prove that the individual in question is a dual citizen. Obviously, the government does not support this amendment and we don't feel this amendment is necessary. Before requiring an individual to establish that they are not a citizen of another country, the minister would first have to identify, based on reasonable grounds, the other country of citizenship.
Also, as this provision only applies to dual citizens, the intent is not to render individuals stateless.
So we're not supporting this amendment.
