The main Canadian Alliance opposition party, saying Canada had become a staging ground for armed groups wanting to attack the United States, called on Ottawa to introduce anti-terrorism legislation along the lines of Britain's 2000 Terrorism Act.
The Alliance wants Ottawa to name "all known terrorist organizations" operating in Canada, to slap a complete ban on all fund-raising linked to these groups and the prompt extradition of all foreign nationals charged with capital offences, even if they face the death penalty.
Canada, which does not have a death penalty, will usually not send suspects to face trial in a country that does.
However, the Canadian government said it would not allow critics to stampede it into introducing tough anti-terrorism legislation in the wake of the September 11 deadly attacks in the United States.
