But she gave me to understand, and I believe her too.... I mean, she was 82, but she had her caregiver with her, and she wouldn't be telling this story if it wasn't true. Anyway, she went on to say that someone told her she had to go and see a lawyer. God love her, she was 82 years old. She said she did go to see the lawyer and she said “Glory be to God, you know what he wanted me to do?” And I said “What?” and she said, “She wanted us to get a divorce. Sixty-two years married we are,” she said. She was heartbroken.
The last and most important thing she said when she called my office and wanted to speak to me and nobody else was that she wanted me to be sure to let other MPs know this. She said she was going to tell her story to every MP across Canada. I don't know how she'd do it.
