I would like to move on to a different topic, the issue of criminal offence abroad. Bill C-24 brought in provisions that were left in place in Bill C-6, which prohibited citizenship from being granted to individuals charged with, or serving a sentence for, a criminal offence abroad.
There is also a related matter of term bars to citizenship, which I think was in some of your submissions as well. I wouldn't mind hearing about this issue and whether or not this committee should entertain making changes in addressing these two items.
I would open it up to any of the witnesses.
