I will leave you all with a thought for your drive home tonight. You've gone through life, as I have, thinking you were a Canadian. One day I was told I wasn't. For all of you sitting in the room, when you're on your way home tonight, think of how much your life would change and how you would feel emotionally if, through no fault of your own, you found out all of a sudden you weren't a Canadian.
