Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you very much for the testimony today.
Mr. Juneau, everybody has asked you many questions, so I want to just echo the testimony you've given us that we don't have the resources and the transparency is not there. I, in fact, have asked Order Paper questions and have brought it up as a point of privilege because I can't get information, as a parliamentarian, on our sanctions regime. Obviously, I'm terrified to hear you so clearly state not only that our allies are disappointed in Canada's enforcement, but that those being sanctioned don't see it as an impediment.
What I'd like to do today is ask some questions of our colleagues from the Red Cross and the ICRC.
If possible, could you give us a little more information about the impacts of sanctions on humanitarian access in Syria? We've seen calls to lift sanctions in order to reach more people with life-saving assistance, but that feels wrong, considering that we know the al-Assad regime is continuing to perpetrate crimes against the Syrian people.
How do we find ways to reconcile our sanctions obligations and our enforcement of sanctions with our humanitarian law obligations?
