Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to our colleagues and to the people who have been working hard on this bill.
My first question would be to Minister Cannon, Chair.
When you were asked in the House about requests, one thing that came up in your response was that there wasn't a tool that you can use, that alas, there's a loophole. We're hearing that this legislation is to plug that loophole; that in the case of Tunisia or Egypt, you weren't able to act through SEMA, and that essentially what we're dealing with here is to give you that tool and the toolkit. Is that a fair assessment?
