Thank you, Chair.
Welcome back, Mario. I'll save all my kind words for you until after my six minutes, at the end of the meeting.
For me, this is a very serious topic. When I was 12 years old in New Brunswick, a car with a couple of people having a dispute had gone by my home, and a box full of pictures flew out the window. As a typical 12-year-old, I went over to see what they were. They were pictures that had to have been taken by a guard in one of the prisons. It showed things that I won't get into here, but one was a woman being put into a furnace. For a 12-year-old boy, that left an impression that stayed with me. Two things followed: my belief in human rights, and my sense of the necessity of education.
I have a saying I still use with a lot of young people I talk to: with knowledge comes responsibility. Seeing those pictures that day, I had a sense of responsibility that a 12-year-old shouldn't have, that somehow society, or the world, had sunk to a frightening place. The story of the St. Louis and other stories demonstrate that benign neglect, without direct complicity, can lead to many deaths. Then, on the other side, there are the stories of wonderful people who risked their lives, their families, and everything to fight this. It's a story that must be told.
Relative to getting that story out in Canada, what are you running into? Are you running into any obstructions, or is it going relatively smoothly?
