Thank you, Mr. Chair.
This is for you, Mr. Gallagher.
From an international relations standpoint, Canada has like-minded partners that have developed tailored sanctions regimes for particular issues—weapons of mass destruction and cybersecurity, for instance. Those partners have additional triggers under their legislation that is equivalent to Canada’s Special Economic Measures Act.
In a world where quick action is often needed and unforeseen circumstances arise, are the triggers under Canada’s sanctions legislation broad and flexible enough for us to meet our foreign policy objectives quickly?
