Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My questions are for Witness 1.
First, I really like your assertion that we can chew gum and walk at the same time, meaning that we can use all of the tools at our disposal to crack down on the IRGC and, if we need more resources, add that organization to the list of terrorist entities, which is what you believe it is.
In Professor Juneau's own opinion, we also need to devote more resources to enforcing the Special Economic Measures (Iran) Regulations, since very few funds have been frozen to date, at nearly $79,000.
You said something that really struck me. According to you, the south believes Canada to be rather complacent towards the Iranian regime and, consequently, towards the IRGC, and that this should lead us to put the latter on the list of terrorist entities. Last week, we heard from Professor Raboudi from the University of Ottawa, who also told us that the IRGC met the definition of a terrorist entity, but that it was not appropriate to add it to the list, as that would discredit us in the eyes of the international community and the global south in particular, and that we had to take into account the current conflict in the Middle East. In fact, I'm interpreting what he said; I don't want to put words in his mouth.
What do you think of that analysis, which runs counter to yours?
