Just a minute ago you said that, given their response, the fact that they pledged to communicate with the Canadian government before any other incident is the best diplomatic language you can expect. I will humbly request that I think there's a better outcome, that the United States makes a pledge that if it's ever to deport a Canadian citizen, it's to deport him or her to Canada. Why aren't we asking that that's what happens--if the United States is going to deport a Canadian citizen, it sends them to Canada.
On November 23rd, 2006. See this statement in context.
