You know, I don't really worry too much about that. The danger in a public debate, as you know, being an elected member to Parliament, is when it breaks down into black and white, for and against, the Manichean division.
I think that there is a pretty good consensus in the country that our ideas of citizenship are tied to an idea of inclusion in justice, and that's another word, “inclusion”, that I think is really important in our history. When you look at the Lebanese crisis, it went through, as I remember it, about three phases. The first was the horror, then there was a little bit of what you're describing, which I felt came mostly from some newspapers that were asking whether these were really Canadian citizens—they don't live here. There was that kind of thing. It seemed to me to be an attempt to create a for-and-against argument of the sort that you fear. But what I found was that it just died away. It didn't get any pick-up from Canadian citizens. Canadians weren't interested in taking that kind of divisive approach on that issue. That was my impression.
