Canada, similar to all of our allies, has autonomous sanctions regimes. We work through the UN system, and when, for various reasons, there's a gridlock, there's an inability to pass a sanction through that fora, each of us has instruments to do that. SEMA is the Canadian version.
In all of these cases, we can collectively impose sanctions in response to threats to international peace and security. We do that either in other countries or in Canada through the statutes or through regulations. When I take a look at what other countries have on the books in their practice, the approach is highly congruent with ours. In fact, their practice reinforces a lot of what you've heard in terms of witnesses, including from us and experts from around the world, which is that the harmonized approach to using these sanctions is key. Taking a universal approach is essential because the weak links in the chain create the dilemma of the effectiveness of those sanctions.
Within that context and because of the severity of the measure, absent war, this is putting restrictions on what are very legitimate activities. That's why we collectively, Canada and allies, tend to look at these as last resorts with high thresholds, and generally speaking, judicially reviewable measures as well.
I think Canadian practice is highly congruent with that of our allies.
