The federal government is extending the list of offences that can lead to revocation of nationality, including organised crime with a leadership role, homicides and sexual offences. The limitation period for bringing a revocation action is being extended from 10 to 15 years. In the event of a conviction for terrorism-related offences, the judge will be required to rule on the question of revocation. If he decides not to impose revocation of nationality, he will have to specifically justify why the consequences of the measure would be manifestly unreasonable and disproportionate.
