Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'm going to start with Ms. Deif.
You raised consular issues in a region of the world that we don't often talk about in this committee and in the public space.
It brings me back to the cases of a number of Canadians years ago. These are cases like Maher Arar, Abdullah Almalki, Ahmad Abou-Elmaati, Muayyed Nureddin and Omar Khadr. All of these individuals were dealing with extremely heavy labels. There was a cloud over them.
At the same time, I think about human rights instruments, the charter values and the rule of law for all, even when it's challenging and difficult.
You raised the issue of those in northeast Syria. I'd like to have your opinion. You contrasted that with consular services in general, but I'd like to contrast that with those who have found themselves in analogous situations—people with heavy labels, as in northeast Syria.
Do you see a distinction between consular services for these individuals and others with heavy labels of the kind that those in northeast Syria are facing today?
