I myself have not dealt with any Baluchi ethnic organizations in Canada, but in all our contacts with the Iranians on human rights issues, and in the resolutions we have put forward before the UN Security Council, we have called for respect for minority rights—cultural and linguistic rights. So that's part of our ongoing series of issues of concern with Iran. We are aware of the problems the Baluchis face, and that the Arabs and the Bahá'ís are facing. There are many different groups in Iran who are having difficulties with their minority, ethnic, or religious status.
