Committee on Public Petitions

Petition on Justice and Marine Safety: Discussion

Mr. C.J. Gaffney:

Yes, what came across to us is that there is no legislation. As the Acting Chair said, they change the legislation every day as things move on. It has to be updated and this is a perfect example of where it should have been.

We felt so alone. It is so hard. You just feel alone. It is just about getting over it. When the boat was going, that was hard on me, especially when I delivered it to the new owner. When it started to look like the house was going, that was a different thing altogether. My partner and daughter were involved. It looked as if we were going to be homeless. I was very close to thinking about doing silly things at that stage.
