Dr. Stanwick, I have to say that you have given an incredibly compelling reason why this committee and this government need to revisit the sections respecting detention. My wife is a psychotherapist, and she's always talking to me about the attachment theory and the consequences of severing that attachment at an early age.
I think we're willing to sacrifice all of that because there's an element in our society that, for some reason, this government feels the need to appease. This element says we can't allow people who may not be worthy of being here to enjoy the same amenities as those who are worthy of having those amenities—the families that are legitimate refugees. They say we can't allow them to enjoy those same amenities, so we'll let everyone suffer rather than allow those amenities to be enjoyed.
Yet I think there are a lot of refugees elsewhere who would be prepared to live in these circumstances of detention for a year—live in these circumstances of severing relationships for almost five years after that, not able to become residents, not able to sponsor others.
Do you see that? Are there people in other countries who would be willing to make that sacrifice and live in these conditions? Does that concern you?
