Yes, the Canadian Tire money was something that should have sealed the deal.
But if you look at what can be done, I would like to see legislation, I would like to see an ombudsman, and I don't think you should have to go to court to have your rights recognized.
Finally, I would say that there was a motto in Foreign Affairs and consular services for the longest time--and Mr. Obhrai mentioned it--that a Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian. I'm sad to say that this has not been the case for you and it hasn't been the case for Ms. Durocher and her daughter. We need to change that. We are going to focus on how to change that so that we don't have another person sitting in your chair saying, “I hope this doesn't happen to another Canadian.”
I want to thank you very much for being so brave and coming here today, and that you have the trust of us and that you still have trust in your country. For that, I thank you very much.
