Madam Speaker, the changes we are proposing to make to the citizenship revocation model will enhance procedural fairness. It will result in a vast majority of cases going to the federal court by default, unless the person expressly desires that the minister make the decision.
We feel very strongly that this will contribute to more procedural fairness, not less. In fact, by availing themselves of the federal court to make the decision with respect to citizenship revocation, they will enjoy the same rights and procedural fairness that every Canadian or foreign national enjoys when they go before the Federal Court of Canada.
