Canadian citizenship: The decision by the House to adjourn for the summer a few days early nixed Conservative efforts to amend a private member's bill to strip Canadian citizenship from dual nationals convicted of terrorist acts, according to Times Colonist. "It was disgusting what Immigration Minister Jason Kenney was trying to do in that bill." OTTAWA - The last legislative fight of the spring session in the Commons appears to have been won by the New Democrats. "We got the end of an odious bill in immigration that would have deprived Canadians of their citizenship illegally but it would have had to have been fought before the courts," NDP Leader Tom Mulcair said Wednesday in celebrating the amendment's demise.
