Dans sa forme originale, le projet de loi d'initiative parlementaire C-425 prévoyait que les personnes ayant la double citoyenneté, c'est-à-dire la citoyenneté canadienne et une citoyenneté étrangère, qui commettent un acte de guerre contre les forces militaires canadiennes, se voient retirer la citoyenneté canadienne.
In its original form, the private member's bill, Bill C-425, intended that if individuals with dual citizenship, those with citizenship in another country and in Canada, were to commit an act against a member of the Canadian military, they would be subject to the sanction of losing that citizenship.
