Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.
Thank you very much for appearing here today.
I'm looking at some of the points here that are being discussed and at the suggestion that it could lead to the election of candidates who would be perceived as representing fellow Canadian citizens in a foreign elected assembly. But would not the major concern, the overarching concern, be that by Canada consenting to or acknowledging or authorizing, it's giving authority to the structure of the constituencies, and thereby if somebody is elected in a foreign government to represent the constituency, would not Canada then be giving authority for them to represent the Government of Canada?
There are extensions on here that...you're giving an awful lot of acknowledgement to a formal structure. If you do have a member of the foreign government who is elected through this process and he is a part of that foreign government but he is elected to represent the Canadian constituency and the Canadian government has authorized it, don't you see a bigger overarching problem there sovereignty-wise, as well as many other issues...?
