Yes, Mr. Chair, on this amendment, this is to ensure that we remain compliant with the international convention against creating stateless persons. This is to clarify and to ensure that despite anything in subsection (1) the minister may not revoke citizenship unless the minister is satisfied, on the balance of probabilities, that the person is a citizen of another country. It's quite essential that we do not create stateless persons. That is a commitment that Canada has made globally.
