Dual Citizenship Dept: The proposed amendment to a private member s bill, previously introduced by Calgary s Conservative MP Devinder Shory, would apply only to those who hold dual citizenship, according to The Star. Kenney said the legislation is largely symbolic and would rarely be used. Most of the world s governments, he said, already have such legislation, noting that in the case of the United States, instead of going through legal niceties of citizenship revocation they seem to be using drones to bomb American citizens who are terrorists . What does it mean to be Canadian? What is a terrorist? Two simple enough questions, but they have sparked great debate since Citizenship and Immigration Minister Jason Kenney suggested that Canadians convicted of terrorism offences should lose their citizenship . As the House of Commons prepares to vote on Bill C-425 this week, interviewed Kenney about what critics claim is an attempt to develop a second class of citizenship and the logistical and legal concerns about the proposal.
