So we can strip someone of their citizenship for being convicted of terrorism and sentenced to 60 months in jail; however if you're convicted of anything from negligent arson to aggravated sexual assault, to homicide you can end up serving a sentence greater than terrorism but your citizenship is safe?
However like GGG said, the revocation of citizenship is outside the court's power, so what you'll end up seeing is "5 years less a day". I don't think this will lead to mass deportations, but that doesn't mean we should be taking a big ole deuce on the Charter either.
Additionally, the Prime Minister IS determining what is and isn't responsible usage of citizenship. A convicted person's citizenship is at the whim of the Prime Minister, as he/she can opt to allow you to keep it or revoke it.
