"The government's failure to ensure that immigrants are fully committed to living according to Canada's liberal democratic values explains why some put overseas causes ahead of Canadian interests.

'This has in all likelihood been a contributing factor in encouraging them to treat this country as a convenient and generous base from which to engage in or mount support for their favourite conflicts abroad.'"
