No you do not.

Birth Certificate or your Residence Card, plus a photo id card will be sufficient.

Keep in mind the new rules that are coming into affect:
as of Jan 1, 2007, passport will be needed for all sea and air travel
as of Jan 1, 2008, passport will be needed for all land travel

As a dual citizen, I do not know how the laws would affect you, but my guess would be that it will still apply.

Either way, as of now, you do not need a passport.
