I have no issues with dual citizenship, but the fact that this bill will allow the cabinet to strip someone of their citizenship is worrisome.

I would think that it would essentially eliminate the sentence of 5 years+ for terrorism as it would be 5 years+ in addition to the (potential) loss of your citizenship.

If our justice system is structured for rehabilitation I can't imagine a worse thing to do than to deny someone the government programs of rehabilitation due to them not being a citizen.

Additionally, does someone have to be found guilty in a Canadian court? If not, I have even more problems with this. If so, I don't think it would apply to Khadr as he wasn't found guilty in a Canadian court.
