Thank you very much, Chair, and welcome to all our witnesses.
I just want to express our deep concern about what happened recently in Montreal. I think you're probably well aware that we had a take-note debate in the House two nights ago with regard to anti-Semitism and those concerns were expressed by many colleagues in the House. I just wanted to express them once more.
Also I hope that the message of Purim and the biblical story that your testimony here today is akin to Mordecai's words at such a time as this. I'd like to begin by asking if you think that the situation in Iran vis-à-vis human rights—and I would say human rights for anyone in Iran: average Iranians, Jews, Baha'is, Christians—has improved under Rouhani's rule.
