When you come to a country as a young person and you don't speak like they speak and you don't look like they look—and I didn't—it's a difficult experience for some years, until you finally get yourself assimilated in some manner. I understand the difficulties people have who come from jurisdictions where they don't speak English or French and have different cultures and different economic systems. It's very hard coming to this country. We have a number of problems of our own already, but it's especially so for someone who comes from elsewhere.
