Thank you very much. I appreciate your words.
Can I make one comment? I think one of the important outcomes of this discussion is that parliamentarians will take a much more active role. This is something that shouldn't be subject to partisan divisions. This is something that really affects people's lives in the most severe and direct way, so there is a degree to which the committee and others can promote the ability of Canada to offer those kinds of broader-based initiatives where they happen.
Wwe really start with this fundamental question of accountability. International organizations, people who work in the community, have to be held to some form of judgment or assessment of their actions. That's one reason we have been working with a number of governments around the idea of being able to attach frozen assets that have come out because of sanctions of the Magnitsky act and reallocate them back to help people who were the victims who suffered from the actions of these bad guys.
The Swiss have already passed legislation to that effect. There are other countries looking at it. We hope Canada will look at it, because that's not just a way of putting money back in the system: it also means that if you're one of the warlords or despots, you're not going to be so anxious to provide money in your piggy bank somewhere in the world if you know that's it's going to be attached by good forensic work by our courts and our banks.
I think this is a very specific thing, and it has a double whammy: it's more money for the system, and it's also a way of putting a real deterrent to the actions of people right now who are so much the cause of the refugee movements.
