We have made a decision, as parliamentarians, but we are also responsible for human rights and the rights of these people. I don't care about my vacation. I made a heartbreaking decision. Also I would like to respond to the families of Libya. I've lived under a dictatorship, so I know what it's like. But they have it worse.
Sure, we'll have to make five-hour trips, but there are families and children dying there. We are going to work for them. We have an obligation, not only to Canadians, but also to the people on this planet. We are going to give and show what we, as Canadians, are made of. I think it's key that we be there and that we be at work.
