Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Thank you, everybody, for welcoming us all to the committee. It's great to be here.
Mr. Bezan, thank you for your work. It's really important and timely, as many other members have said. I remember about 10 years ago reading Red Notice, which is Bill Browder's excellent book that I would recommend to everybody. It's about Sergei Magnitsky and the whole case. It's really good work that you're doing.
I wanted to touch on something that Mr. Jackson was just raising around property and asset seizures, which are of course an important part of any kind of sanctions regime. As was mentioned, there are timelines on the government without any exceptions for things like judicial reviews or appeals, which obviously are not uncommon when assets are seized. I'm wondering if, in your view, there is any room for exceptions or exemptions to allow for those judicial processes, which could certainly come forth, while also respecting the fact that asset seizure needs to be a part of a robust sanctions regime.
