Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I can't help but echo the sentiments of my colleagues. We're very grateful, Mr. Matas, not only for the work you've already done with Mr. Kilgour, but also the fact that I see your itinerary, sometimes, travelling around and continuing to press the point. I just want to express my personal thanks for your continued efforts in regard to the Falun Gong, and for reiterating the human rights infractions and atrocities in regard to the Baha'i in Iran as well.
We've had Mr. Genser here, who really began the conversation of the International Court of Justice, and Mr. Gordon as well. I posed a question to Mr. Gordon after those two rounds of testimony and he seemed to feel that there might be some legal precedent to follow.
Rather than just the approach of having a conviction that identifies Ahmadinejad and publicly shames him internationally—and particularly today, because you talked about sanctions through banks—is there some premise or a tort aspect that we could follow afterwards? Once there is that prosecution and hopefully conviction, because he's a representative of the state, could there actually be funds that could be seized through a tort action for punitive damages?
