That's helpful. Thank you.
So the department does assessments, makes recommendations to your political masters, to government, and then they decide. I'm just curious as to what the thinking was when we decided in one case not to align our sanctions with our those of our friends. I'm talking about sanctions against Igor Sechin. I've brought this up numerous times. I was told by one of the government members that we have to think of our national interests, and, frankly, I was surprised when I heard that at committee. I have that on the record to share with people if need be. Igor Sechin is, as we know, very close to Mr. Putin. He is involved in the gas and oil business, as we know. He was a former vice-prime minister; he has a very high profile, and it's curious to many of us that Mr. Sechin is on the sanctions list for the EU and the U.S., but not for Canada.
I'm trying to figure out if the department recommended that Mr. Sechin be on the list?
