Absolutely, and as I mentioned, I will bring this forward in future meetings for us to discuss.
Senator, I apologize. I know this is your time, and I needed to say that so that those who are watching this committee understand just how atrocious that behaviour was. I think we have discussed this. This is a very important bill. I think it's good that you've brought it forward. I'm happy that this bill is coming forward. I think our sanctions regime has to have more teeth to it, more ability to hold those we are sanctioning to account.
I have just a few very quick questions for you.
My understanding is that there was only one minor technical amendment made to this bill at the Senate. During the Senate testimony, did you hear similar concerns to the ones that were raised in briefs to committee that we will hear shortly from the Canadian Bar Association, The Refugee Centre and others? We're just wondering a bit why you didn't choose to accept more of those amendments.
