Byron reported being a little tired, but never ready to give up when I spoke to him today in the Capital City.
He said that he had called Mr. Norman Doyle's office on Monday, April 24th, as he had been requested to do by Mr. Doyle before he left for Newfoundland. His assistant, Alvin, said that Mr. Doyle had not yet returned from Newfoundland and that he was expected at around noon. This was at approximately 11.30am.
So, Byron went up to his room to wait. The Innkeeper of his guest house told him to turn on CPAC, Canada's political channel. Lo and behold, but there sat Mr. Norman Doyle in his seat in parliament. Byron called Alvin back.
Alvin said that Mr. Doyle was going to be awful "busy" the whole week.
On Tuesday, the Innkeeper said that Alvin had called without leaving a message.
On Wednesday, today, he didn't call.
"I told Alvin that on any given day, they could find me in front of the parliament buildings with the information they told me to bring along."
Byron assured me that he wouldn't be going anywhere soon and he was sure that in time, Mr. Doyle would make the appointment.
I offered me two cents worth and commented that it would be a little silly for them to leave Byron standing on the Parliament lawn when tourists from all over world walk up to the Parliament buildings with their video recorders and digital cams!
Already several foreigners have written messages on Byron's Message Board on his website, showing support and disbelief that this injustice could actually exist in Canada.
But exist it does, as Mr. Harper and his government know too well.
Byron is the first to admit that Mr. Harper is doing an outstanding job at tackling the weaknesses and corruption that the Liberal Party brought into Canada.
"But he needs to look at the Justice System. Something is very, very wrong there."
Certainly, if a Supreme Court Justice like Alex Hickman could rape a little girl, get away with it and be nominated to the Order of Canada, this is a sign that the Justice System is severely rotten with corruption.
"This means that a criminal has received the Order of Canada!" Byron remarked indignantly.
And then with sadness, "After 40 years of crying out for help, do they really think I will give up now?" I think not, I said.
Byron said he was comforted by the fact that his sister was standing up and speaking out. "All she has to do is put it in writing, but she's afraid. They have frightened her for years."
I assured Byron that sooner rather than later, these thugs could not keep this travesty under the rug. He was gaining too much support.
"Someone came up to me today and told me that Hickman is blind. You know what I said? I said, 'Good, that way he can't look at little children anymore'"
It seems like the authorities have chosen blindness all these years by ignoring Byron and his sister's cries for help.
But, Byron's photographs and his message are all around the globe - people everywhere are calling for Justice for Byron and his family.
When I bid farewell to Byron, he was in tears. He is tired. But he will never give up. He has grieved at the loss of his innocence and that of his siblings, at the injustice for 4 decades. His heart has been broken so many times. He will only rest when justice is done.
It is time for Mr. Doyle, Mr. Harper and the Conservative Party to stand up for Justice in Canada.
