Default Bill to Strip Citizenship for Treason

It is a private members bill, but I can't say I am against it.

Overwhelming majority supports revoking citizenship for Canadians who commit treason: poll

One thing (the first concern which came to my mind is covered):

Quote:
only Canadians who are also citizens of another country would lose their status as Canadians
And I can't say I am against this at all, Canadian Forces deserve as much special treatment as they can get:

Quote:
Another section of the bill would allow permanent residents serving in the Canadian Forces to apply for citizenship after two years, rather than the required three. Few non-Canadians serve in the forces, although those with specialized skills are sometimes brought in.

I might also argue that to me it seems so rare this law might actually be used, is it worth while having it on the books (other than the Canadian Forces thing)
