Thank you, Chair, and thank you to the witnesses for your time and your presentations.
Dr. Haghighatjoo, as a member of the Iranian Parliament, what reforms do you think are necessary in the governing structure? Do you believe that UN resolutions are an effective means to pressure the Iranian government? What about sanctions? What can Canada do bilaterally to improve the human rights situation in Iran? Multilaterally, do you believe that the report of the special rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Islamic Republic of Iran has significance? Can you also elaborate on the status of Iran's nuclear program? Do you believe there is a link between Iran's nuclear ambitions and human rights violations in that country?
