I believe that, when people commit a crime against the country itself, then they are potentially forfeiting their right to that citizenship. A crime of treason, espionage, armed conflict against Canada, terrorism—those are the crimes that the bill would seek to revoke citizenship for. I don't believe that is unreasonable.
I don't believe that Canadian citizenship should just be so easy to receive. I believe it is truly a privilege and a gift. Canada is the most wonderful country in the world to live in. I don't believe it is unreasonable to create minimal standards for what it takes to retain that citizenship. I stand by my defence of the ability to revoke citizenship for those crimes against Canada as a political community.
