They talked a lot about Bill C-14, with the right of being able to have adoption. So the Government of Canada, this government, made it a priority to allow any Canadian to adopt pretty much any foreign child, and that child will be Canadian within six weeks.
But I will be Canadian, and I don't have the right to bring my own children. I can't adopt them; they're already mine. For the government to process my application—this is a former Canadian, not somebody who's never been Canadian, but a guy who's got a real track record—it says that they could take upwards of 18 months, maybe two years.
I'm sorry, the punishment here doesn't fit the crime. I didn't do anything wrong. I'm guilty only of being a very proud Canadian.
