Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I echo the sentiments and the comments of my colleague Mr. Leef.
Thank you so much for coming to testify. I can only imagine the grief that all of you suffered at the time and are still feeling. I think it's important that Canadians constantly remind themselves of two things that your stories represent. One is that Canadians and other nationalities were part of what happened on 9/11, and there's a certain global story about the victims of 9/11. The other is that, with Air India, people sometimes forget that a large number of human beings were killed in Air India, and that a large number of them were Canadians. This was not fully acknowledged at the time, and it is something that we're going to have to come to terms with.
Mr. Alexander, I'd like to ask you to elaborate on your description of the initiation of an investigative hearing, when the previous provisions were still in force, that never ended up taking place. You mentioned that if a Mr. X had ever been tracked down then things might have changed. You said it would have potentially changed the course of that trial. Could you set the scene a bit more, tell us what you meant, and then elaborate?
