Thank you, Mr. Chair.
We heard testimony from, and had discussions with, some of the leaders in the world with respect to humanitarian law and also specifically with respect to the Magnitsky act—and I refer to Bill Browder, Marcus Kolga, among others—who have said repeatedly that this government has failed to put in place the Magnitsky sanctions. It's just the reality of the numbers. I believe it's zero in the last five years. They also commented, strenuously, that this was something they would support.
Clearly the government is failing to put in the Magnitsky act. If we just rely on the Standing Orders, we know what will happen. Human rights violators around the world will continue to be able to avoid these sanctions. Even when SEMA sanctions are put in, they're not enforced. If we keep going along this way, we'll just be, in fact, putting in place the definition of “insanity” and we will continue to keep doing the same things while expecting different results.
