        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3165500\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, my colleague should know that my bill would apply to those who have dual citizenship. This bill would strengthen the value of Canadian citizenship by rewarding those who bravely serve our country. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3165501\" data-originallang=\"en\">However, those who commit an act of war against our Canadian armed forces would forfeit the right of Canadian citizenship. Of course, due process would be available and would be followed. Individuals would have the right to make their case before a judge. It would go before a judge and then the Federal Court and on and on. That due process would be done. Of course we would always comply with the Convention on the Reduction Statelessness. This bill would make no exception to that.</p>",

Il renforcerait la valeur de la citoyennet\u00e9 canadienne en r\u00e9compensant ceux qui servent vaillamment notre pays.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3165501\" data-originallang=\"en\">Toutefois, ceux qui commettent un acte de guerre contre les Forces arm\u00e9es canadiennes perdraient leur droit \u00e0 la citoyennet\u00e9 canadienne. Bien s\u00fbr, ces gens auraient droit aux recours normaux pr\u00e9vus par la loi. Ils auraient le droit de pr\u00e9senter leur cause devant un juge. L'affaire serait entendue par un juge, ensuite par la Cour f\u00e9d\u00e9rale et ainsi de suite. Ils b\u00e9n\u00e9ficieraient des garanties proc\u00e9durales habituelles. \u00c9videmment, nous respecterions toujours la Convention sur la r\u00e9duction des cas d'apatridie. Ce projet de loi ne ferait pas d'exception \u00e0 cet \u00e9gard.</p>"
