Maybe another scenario would be that the person has been detained after there is a question about their documentation, and in that case the person is asking the government to provide support. If that support isn't given in a timely fashion.... Actually, this question is not for you, Mr. Leckey, unless you want to add something. It would be for the consular affairs people.
If the person was not able to get support from consular affairs officials in a timely fashion--we've established there's no legal statute that says that the consular affairs officials from the Government of Canada have to provide that support--how could they actually follow up with the government to make the case that they should have received support? In other words, is there any grievance mechanism for Canadians if they don't receive the support they believe they should have received if they've been stranded abroad?
Is there an appeal process for Canadians if they don't receive the support they thought they should have received, according to the act?
