Mr. Speaker, since his arrest by an American border patrol on October 11, Michel Jalbert, a resident of Pohénégamook, has been awaiting trial in a Maine jail cell. After we raised the question yesterday, the Minister of Foreign Affairs asked the U.S. authorities to show restraint.
Does the Minister of Foreign Affairs plan to take any further action, and to delegate a local representative to speed up Mr. Jalbert's trial or obtain his release until the trial, so that he can get home to his family as soon as possible?
