Thank you, Mr. Chair.
As with others, I'm very honoured to have you with us today. I spent six months in Saudi Arabia 30 years ago, and I saw first-hand the punishments you referred to. It's a very horrific place to live when you face that and then you combine it with a government that, let us say, does not relate to the principles of law. It's just a tyranny, for lack of a better term.
From what I understand from the messages I've been hearing over the last months and years, the problems in Iran are systemic. You can point to the leader of Iran today and say that's the problem, but I think it's far deeper than that. As I say, it's systemic. How do you believe that Canada could help change the status for the people, but also influence changes in the system?
