I'm just saying that this system is inherently set up to have three classes. It's not set up to have 15 or 20, and I wouldn't suggest it should be. The point is that if you're a natural-born citizen it's not a question of choice. It's an accident and if you become a naturalized citizen you make a choice. Not everybody who comes to Canada as an immigrant acquires citizenship; many of them don't want to. Others are afraid that if they do apply and acquire citizenship they lose the citizenship of their homeland. The choice is a matter for the naturalized; the natural-born have no choice, and if you make a choice, and if you go through the procedures of qualifying for what you're looking for and one of them is to swear allegiance to your country and to obey its rules and regulations, and if subsequently you violate those rules, even to the extent of perhaps slaughtering your fellow citizens, then I think there should be a penalty for that.
It's more a symbolic penalty than anything else because as has been pointed out someone who has been convicted—and remember they have to be convicted—of acts of terror or treason, whether you take their citizenship away from them or not may not matter much to the individual, but it's a symbol that Canadians cherish their citizenship and are not happy when fellow citizens attempt to commit terrorist acts that may kill their fellow citizens. I think that's worthy of a penalty, and the penalty is to take their citizenship away.
