Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Gina, for your impassioned plea about the situation of the Roma.
I look with interest at this document, “Roma Refugees in Canada and Bill C-31”. You go to great pains in this document to try to explain the difference between gypsy fiction versus Roma reality. I'd like you to elaborate on that.
Secondly, in my travels in Europe, I have come across all kinds of people. Perhaps you can tell me how current European society discriminates in terms of how they would prosecute the Roma or the gypsies. How is the treatment different? To me, they, or least those I've come across, can ethnically or racially blend into the society.
I would just be curious, then, to know more about that in the context of gypsy fiction versus Roma reality.
