Speaking Out: defending Canadian passports

Thu 3 Dec 2009

Ms. Irene Mathyssen (London—Fanshawe, NDP):

Mr. Speaker, this morning I had a conversation with a young man by the name of Khaled Al Sabawi. He is a young man who went to the University of Waterloo. He was born in Palestine but has lived in Canada since he was two.

He felt compelled, because of the statements made by Mr. Netanyahu, that people should return to Palestine and the Middle East to help the people there. That is precisely what Mr. Al Sabawi did. He returned to Palestine and used his engineering skills to create a heating and cooling system using geothermal energy.

His passport is not being respected. My question is, when is the government going to start to defend Canadian passports?
