It's hard to speculate, because one of the things about President-elect Trump is that he is unpredictable, particularly in matters relating to foreign policy.
With respect to the United States, given their system and the separation of powers, it is possible for Congress to do as they have done in 2012, which was to pass justice for Sergei Magnitsky legislation and have a documented list of those who cannot enter the U.S., who cannot launder their assets in the U.S., and the like. Similarly, the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act has now passed Congress and will go to the Senate. The legislation can be adopted without the president, though clearly the president will have a role afterwards with respect to the bilateral relationships with the countries the violators come from.
I think global legislation makes it more effective, and one is not subject to the notion that you've singled out a particular country. This is not a matter of going against countries; it's a matter of going against human rights violators. It's a matter of supporting those countries in supporting the rule of law and justice and supporting the people of those countries, because you're going against the violators who have been enjoying impunity because of a culture of corruption or criminality.
In regard to President-elect Trump, first, I think we can be independent as a Parliament, as a government, and as a country, and enact our own global justice accountability legislation.
Second, I think that may send a signal to other countries in Europe to maybe do the same, and the European Parliament has already endorsed that approach.
Third, it could support the congressional action taken in the U.S., and that may buttress what President Trump might then decide to do in that regard. Let's look at it the other way round: Canada influencing others, rather than our being influenced by Trump.
