I'd just comment, and again as a Jew, and not only as a member of the Quebec Bar, that Canada has apologized for detaining Japanese Canadians. Canada has apologized for the S.S. St. Louis. In fact, we now have a commemoration of that. There's a saying that those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it. I want to see my country remember the past, not just by making memorials to the past but also by applying the lessons to refugees coming from around the world who need our protection today.
On May 1st, 2012. See this statement in context.
