Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Ms. Durocher.
We've spoken a number of times. Obviously, there are other cases that, like yours, trouble and concern us as members of Parliament. That feeling is also shared by individuals who have worked on these cases.
Madame Suaad Hagi Mohamud, thank you for your very, very intimate and distressing revelation of what happened to you while so many of us were trying to get answers. I can safely say that if it were ours to give, we would deeply regret and apologize. While the government may not do that, this is not a partisan issue; this is an issue of how we treat Canadians abroad. So on my own behalf and on behalf of my colleagues, I want to offer to you personally our sincere regrets on what has happened. Let your testimony here serve as a reminder to all of us that this will never happen again.
Madame Mohamud, I have a couple of questions for you on what you've put in your handout here regarding High Commission high-handed conduct, so that you can acknowledge these things.
You believe there was a failure to intervene quickly. Is that correct?
