Mr. Behruz, it's been often said that evil occurs when good men do nothing. You are doing something, and I congratulate you on your courage and your effort in being here. I think it's fair to say that 308 members of Parliament stand with you in your concern for human rights, and I'm pleased to be one of those.
I'd like to follow up on the questions of Ms. Thi Lac. She was getting to the practical issues. I'm going to ask you three questions.
In my riding, West Vancouver, there is arguably the highest concentration of Persian Canadians and a lot of people who would sympathize with you. I had the honour of being on the podium with Nazanin Afshin-Jam just a few days ago, where we talked about the rights of people in Iran and how she's doing something. This is a Canadian of Persian background who, like you, is doing something. But we don't have ambassadors between the countries. We have a very narrowly constrained series of issues we can talk about.
What can we do to not offend the Persian Canadians in Canada—300,000 people? Every time we condemn the Government of Iran in the House of Commons, people hear they're being condemned just because they're of Persian background.
Second, what can we do to empower people like you and Nazanin to speak out? You're the most powerful Canadians, you of Persian background who understand it, who've breathed it, who've seen the suffering yourselves. What can we do to help you?
Third, if you were the Minister of Foreign Affairs, what two things would you do differently?
