Professor Cotler, it's exactly the right question.
The joint plan of action is very specific that there should be no new nuclear sanctions while these negotiations are taking place, but the administration is on record as supporting new human rights sanctions and new terrorism sanctions. The problem is, like diplomats everywhere, they become very invested in the process, and the Iranian regime has been very adept at using the scare tactic that they will walk away from negotiations if there are any new sanctions on any front.
I think it's actually incumbent upon the Canadian government and the Canadian Parliament to encourage an atmosphere through Canadian leadership that human rights and terrorism—terror at home or terror abroad—should be on the front burner, not on the back burner. I think you will find willing and committed members of Congress on a bipartisan basis who support that approach.
I would recommend that the Government of Canada, if there is a final nuclear deal on acceptable nuclear terms, accept that deal with the qualification that any enforcement of that deal has to start depending on Iran finally addressing the vast system of domestic repression in its country and the use of the Quds Force, Hezbollah, and other terrorist organizations in its terrorist activities abroad. In Canada, again, if you have an Ottawa equivalent of the Helsinki Accords, we could all meet back in Ottawa in a year's time and really put that on the front burner.
