Thank you so much. It's an honour to be here to hear you and to be part of this testimony.
I salute your courage and the courage of the Iranian people.
Ms. Alinejad, you talked about these cultural arguments. I’ve seen the culture of the Iranian people in the freedom movement. I’ve seen Iranian Canadians who come out in -30°C weather to protest and raise awareness among other Canadians about these issues. I’ve seen the incredible courage of so many people. When I think about Iranian culture, that's what I think of. It's a great culture that you should be so proud to celebrate.
