Thank you, Mr. Chair.
First, I want to offer my regards to my colleagues. I am replacing Alexis Brunelle-Duceppe, who should be joining us shortly.
Ambassador and Director General, thank you for joining us. I very much appreciate the discussions that have taken place so far.
Ambassador, thank you for your presentation.
I would like to explore the matter of the organizations designated as terrorist entities. In December, Canada removed Syria, as well as certain groups associated with the transitional government, from the list of such entities.
Ambassador, which factors led the government to conclude that the designation was no longer appropriate?
