Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. I would also like to thank our guests.
Mr. Neve, in the conclusion to your presentation, you set out three recommendations, including the right of all Canadians to receive quality consular services. You also mentioned the creation of an ombudsman position and you then spoke of detention.
I would like to come back to the creation of an ombudsman position. This is an interesting idea, but the applicable context of such a position is still very vague in my mind. In what circumstances do you believe it would be useful to have an ombudsman? What would his or her role be? Would there not be a danger that this person would interfere in the role of the Department of Foreign Affairs and in that of our courts? Is there another country that has an ombudsman in such circumstances?
