I'm actually 100% in favour of this motion as it is and I'd be prepared to vote for it. It goes counter to Mr. Cotler's comment, and I apologize for that, but because of the nature of the situation and because I understand the power of this committee just by having hearings that are public, I'm wondering if we can have some witnesses from the Bahá'í community as soon as possible to speak to this issue as well. These charges mean the very life of these people who are involved, should they be prosecuted and found guilty. Of course we know the record of the Government of Iran.
