I appreciate that answer. I would note that, under the framework legislation for the act, you are the lead minister over and above other ministers, such as the Minister of International Trade.
I have a question relating to the protection of diplomats in Canada.
As you know, earlier this year there was a shooting at a U.S. consulate. A recently unsealed U.S. indictment indicates that U.S. authorities believe the shooting is related to an IRGC or Iranian regime-linked network. You are responsible, under the Vienna Convention, for the protection of foreign missions here in Canada.
Can you tell us if there is a link between the U.S. consulate shooting and the Iranian regime?
