There are other written briefs, as well, from people such as Michael Kovrig, Bennett Kovrig, Grace Chen and Ariana Botha, who said it's important to send a “vital message to families that their loved ones remain a priority and [this] reinforces transparency and accountability in efforts to secure their release.” They wrote in support of increased reporting requirements.
The Prosperity, Advancement, Networking and Direction Settlement Services and the Iranian Justice Collective also wrote, “A response requirement would make Canada's sanctions system more transparent, more serious, and more accessible to victims and diaspora communities.”
There was also Andrea Charron and the Human Rights Foundation. They said that having a consistent reporting mechanism, reviewing the people on the list and those whom we're trying to help, making that public is ultimately in the best interest of the victims and their families.
I think it sets the standard for us as Canadians, as well.
