Yes. I would suggest the minister's use of that word is unfortunate, because from the day it happened we advised the immigration department and the minister. I have written at least three letters. Members have written. Our moderator--that is, the head of the United Church of Canada--has written; ministers across the country have written, as well as congregations and individuals. We are consistently ignored.
We think there are some options that could be pursued for this family. We'd be willing to work with the government, but the government does not want to engage, so we continue trying to figure out what to do. We feel we're just being totally stonewalled, that there isn't a concern to look to the needs of this family.
