Detained abroad. Let's say someone leaves Canada and goes to any country in the world, and when he wants to come back we have a consular person over there at the airport saying they are not a Canadian--“This is not your picture,” or this or that. We don't give him authorization to take the flight. What happens at that time? Do we have any obligation for the accommodation of that person while he's waiting? It could take a day, two days, three days. Does Canada have any obligation regarding that person?
