senators tuesday: Independent Sen, according to CTV. Ratna Omidvar, who is sponsoring another citizenship-related bill in the upper house, is planning an amendment that would allow those deemed to have misrepresented themselves to appeal a decision to revoke their citizenship. And, in the meantime, he says he'll consider imposing a moratorium on the practice. McCallum, who was grilled by senators Tuesday, says he'd welcome such an amendment. The provision was denounced by the Liberals when they were in opposition but lawyers say they've been aggressively enforcing it since forming government. Revocation without a hearing was part of a citizenship bill passed by the previous Conservative government.
