Your notes about Briana Kopp brought to mind how upset my wife was when she was forced to take maternity leave while our son was HSC's neo-natal ICU for 10 weeks after his birth which meant that at the time, she only had 7(?) weeks with him when he came home. I cannot imagine having to go through what she and the others in today's had to go through.

This is a disturbing article Hansard where you provide real human personal stories of grief and bureaucratic frustration slamming into the seemingly impregnable and impersonal wall of government agencies.

Surely, somewhere else in the world, other governments have much better means of serving its citizens that Canada can explore and execute here and in timely fashion, not the Centre Block definition of “timeliness “.

I keep coming back to looking toward Sweden, Finland and Norway. They seem to be a good standard. At least from the outside looking in.

Thank you, I agree the Nordics will at least have some answers to the issues we face and you illustrate so well.
