Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you both for sharing your knowledge with us here today.

Professor Charron, you mentioned that the rubber rings were worth $15. I think there's more to this puzzle...exporting of prohibited goods in contravention of the United Nations Act resolutions on Iran, the SEMA, and the Canadian Customs Act. Considering the amount of resources that went into this to bring the party to the table, do you think a $90,000 fine is good enough to deter these companies not to get into these actions further?
